​I'm looking for a 3rd Line Engineer for a dynamic and busy team working in Plymouth.

The Role

No two days are the same in this company - the role is varied and fast-paced and you'll be working with a huge number of different departments internally as well as loads of different clients.

As well as working with the more Junior Engineers, you’ll liaise with the Field Engineers as well, providing them with valuable backup should they encounter any issues whilst out on site.

You’ll work closely with the Project Manager and the Sales & Marketing Team as a technical lead on a number of complex projects, recommending long term solutions to client problems. When this is done, you’ll oversee the installation, implementation, and deployment of those recommendations, helping to lead a project through from initial idea to completion.

• Providing 3rd Line technical assistance to a range of businesses of different sizes, across different industries.

• Acting as a point of escalation for 1st Line and 2nd Line engineers, helping them with their understanding.

Who you are

You’re someone who is up for a challenge, that wants to help a growing SME become a regional powerhouse, and progress in their own career at the same time.

You’ll be friendly and approachable, happy to help colleagues at all levels and lead where necessary. You’ll reach down the ladder and pull your 1st and 2nd Line colleagues up whilst actively supporting those around you at 3rd Line.

Whilst a techie at heart, you’ll be understanding to the real-world applications of IT and be able to translate 'Tech Talk' into language non technical people will understand.
