As a global leader, we strive for greatness in product leadership, market leadership and people leadership to realize our growth strategies.

We strongly believe that our people’s competitive spirit, proactive leadership, and expertise helps drive the company forward. As such, LG is the right place for you if:

You are motivated and driven. You thrive on a challenge and want to be No. 1.
You are a people person. You like helping people out and you want to understand where they’re coming from.
You’re honest and you will speak up (politely of course), but you do it because you care and because it’s the right thing to do.

Overview

We are looking for a skilled engineer with field repair experience to join us as the Technical Support Engineer (Field Based) for all Home Entertainment products.

LGEUK is an ever growing company in the market place; as such the ability to manage change in line with this growth is the key to its future success, through continuous development in customer service offering.

LGEUK service relies heavily upon a small number of product specific service providers who carry out a high percentage of the total repair volume.

The management of these repairers is critical, with regular reporting or KPI management required. Some areas of the service dept can interface with repairers and this can lead to confusion on both parts regarding the correct contact points for any specific issues.

As LGEUK grows within the market there will be an increasing need to optimise its current repair network, bringing with it the need for reliable controlled evaluation of prospective new companies. Working with the Service Network Manager, Customer Service Operation Team Leader and Customer Service Director, part of your remit will be ensuring that our customers receive continued high level quality service.

The position is based at our Weybridge Head Office with travel required to our warehouse in Milton Keynes. Additional travel will be required a few times a year to the European Service Academy (EU training centre is in Holland), the European TV manufacturing plant in Poland and to our training academy in Korea every 2 years.
