Role Purpose: The CST Technical Advisor acts as a key escalation point for Customer Service Team (CST) Advisors, supporting queries that require deeper product knowledge across Aqualla, Adamsez, and Hotbath products. This role is primarily focused on delivering a 5* service to customers with product-related queries, acting as the key support point for more complex enquiries that sit between CST Advisors and R&D.

A secondary focus of the role is to support CST Advisors through knowledge sharing, training, and documentation, enabling them to confidently resolve queries independently. The CST Technical Advisor will also analyse escalation trends to identify opportunities to improve the customer experience and reduce repeat issues. Highly technical product faults or defects will be escalated to the Technical R&D Advisor.
