1st Line Support Technician in Hessle

Tevalis is a well-established and rapidly growing industry-leading EPOS, Enterprise, and integrated technology solutions provider with offices in the UK, Middle East, and APAC regions.

Our clients operate in key sectors that include Restaurants, Food Halls, Pubs and Clubs, Quick Service and Kiosks, Hotels, Theatres and Cinemas, Private Members’ Clubs, Leisure Venues and Stadia & Arena.

We are looking for a 1st Line Support Technician to join our Support Team at Bridgehead Business Park, Hessle, who will serve as the initial point of contact for customers experiencing technical issues with our EPOS technology. This role is crucial in ensuring that our clients can continue their operations smoothly and efficiently.

When issues cannot be resolved immediately, you will elevate or transfer the cases to the appropriate team, ensuring that customers receive timely and effective resolutions.

In this role, the Technician will not only address technical problems but also build strong relationships with our customers by providing exceptional service and support. It may be necessary to liaise with third parties and other departments to provide updates and aid in the resolution of cases.
