1st Line Support Technician

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. Using our development expertise and industry knowledge, we build in house EPOS systems, solutions, and services to the hospitality industry of all shapes and sizes, from single independent operators to enterprise multi-site chains and leading brands. We currently support on-premises systems and enterprise platforms for more than 2,000 operators globally. 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, Hotels, Leisure Venues and Stadia & Arena.

The Role 

Due to internal career progression, we are looking for 1st Line Support Technicians 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. By handling inbound support cases via tickets, email or phone, you will triage and resolve issues on first contact whenever possible. When issues cannot be resolved immediately, you will escalate 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. Additionally, you will be responsible for raising documentation update requests when outdated procedures are identified, ensuring that our support processes remain current and effective. This role is integral to maintaining customer satisfaction and trust in our EPOS technology solutions.

Please note Tevalis do not offer sponsorship and you must be able to have the Right to Work in the UK.

You must also be able to commute to our office in Hessle as this is an office-based role.
