Engineering Support Specialist in Köln bei Peak Scientific

We are recruiting a self-motivated Technical Support Specialist who will be responsible for providing a high level of technical support to the large network of Peak customers, distributors and OEMs across EMEA. Managing the technical support workload ensuring that emails and phone calls are prioritised in order of urgency and responded to within agreed Service Level Agreement (SLA). You can be based anywhere in Germany and willing to travel occasionally. You must be fluent in German and English. This is not an IT role, we're looking for someone with an electro-mechanical background and ideally customer service too.

Duties include:

• Providing technical support in conjunction with the service management system (SMS)
• Responding to all incoming technical enquiries (telephone and email) in a professional, prompt and efficient manner to ensure total customer satisfaction
• In conjunction with Service Managers, ensuring all phone calls resulting in Field Service Engineer (FSE) on site assistance are responded to and organised within SLA of 2 hours
• Using SMS, ensuring all relevant field visit data is captured by FSEs with system generated visit reports being promptly sent to customers
• Working closely with the FSE’s, ensuring cost effective and efficient planning of the monthly workload ensuring that any breakdown visit meets the customer response time SLA

This role would suit someone who is customer driven with an interest in technical support or experience of mechanical/ electrical fault diagnosis. You will have exceptional communication skills in German and English both in speech and writing. French, Spanish or Italian language skills would also be advantageous.

In addition, you will possess:

• Self-motivation and the ability to work with minimal supervision
• Able to interface comfortably with customers at all levels both internally and externally
• Ability to work under pressure against tight deadlines
• Good organisational skills
