• Understanding customer issues and asking the right questions to establish what's happening.
• Using your problem-solving skills to diagnose issues and identify appropriate solutions.
• Developing a strong understanding of our products, systems and technical processes.
• Explaining technical information clearly and simply to customers who may not have the same level of knowledge.
• Recording customer interactions and keeping information accurate and up to date.
• Working with colleagues and other teams to resolve more complex issues where required.
• Following problems through to resolution rather than simply passing them on.
• Building positive relationships with customers and ensuring they feel listened to and supported.

You could come from a customer service background, technical support environment, engineering or automotive setting or another role where you've had to understand problems and work out solutions.

• Have previous customer service experience, ideally involving regular telephone contact.
• Are naturally curious and enjoy figuring out how things work.
• Have a logical, methodical and practical approach to problem-solving.
• Are comfortable learning technical information and applying it to real customer situations.
• Can communicate clearly and confidently with customers over the phone.

• Are comfortable asking questions and learning from more experienced colleagues.
• Are genuinely interested in developing their technical knowledge.

The position is best suited to someone who can get to the Towcester area within approximately 10-15 minutes. This is an important part of the role, as we're looking for someone who wants to build a long-term career with us and is comfortable with the daily commute.

This is an opportunity to develop a specialist skill set combining customer service, technical knowledge and problem-solving.

You'll receive structured training and support to build your technical understanding, while gaining experience in a role where no two customer conversations are necessarily the same.
