Technical Customer Advisor (Support & Sales) in Hampshire, Portsmouth

Location: Portsmouth

Contract: Permanent

Hours: Full Time - 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday

If you love helping people, enjoy problem-solving, and you're the kind of person who gets excited about tech, this could be a brilliant next step for you!

About the role:

Thanks to an internal promotion, we have an exciting opportunity to join our Support Services team as our newest technical and presales champion. You'll be the first point of contact for a wide range of predominantly business customer queries; troubleshooting issues, answering technical questions, and guiding people towards the right hardware, software, and service solutions. You'll support customers across channels including live chat, phone, and email, making sure their journey is smooth and their experience is always top-notch. Clear, accurate system notes will come naturally to you, and you'll follow up when you say you will, helping us maintain the high levels of trust our customers expect from us. You'll also work closely with colleagues across Repairs, Purchasing, Engineering, and other operational teams to resolve issues quickly and keep everything moving efficiently.

What we need from you:

• To thrive in this role, you'll be someone who genuinely enjoys helping customers and feels confident communicating clearly and efficiently across all our channels.
• When things get busy, you'll stay calm, focused and keep delivering the same great service.
• Problem solving should be enjoyable and come naturally to you.
• You’ll bring some experience in customer service or sales, whether that's from a call centre, retail, or any other relevant customer‑focussed environment.
• You don't need to be a full tech expert yet, but you'll need hands‑on experience with PC hardware and software, along with a willingness to keep building your knowledge as you go.
• You’ll be proactive, organised, and someone who enjoys learning, whether that means exploring new products, keeping up with tech trends, or sharpening your customer service skills.
• Most importantly, you'll bring a positive, customer‑focused attitude to our small and friendly team, and you'll enjoy working in a fast‑paced environment.

A bit about the team:

You’ll be joining a friendly, knowledgeable customer support team who genuinely enjoy what they do. They collaborate closely, working through problems together, chatting about the latest tech updates, and finding smarter ways to deliver a great customer experience. They also know how to have fun. Whether it's chatting about films and the best local food spots, or planning team socials, there's always something to get involved in.
