First Line Support Engineer

ASK4 connects students, residents and businesses across the UK and Europe to fast, reliable internet. Behind every smooth connection is a support team that knows its stuff and we're looking for a First Line Support Engineer to join that team in Sheffield.

In this role, you'll be the first point of contact for customers across our student, residential and business product lines. You'll diagnose and resolve technical issues, manage incoming contacts across phone, chat and SMS, and escalate where needed. It's a varied, shift-based role that suits someone who enjoys solving problems and working as part of a close-knit team.

• Answering and managing inbound technical support calls
• Handling live chat and SMS contacts from customers
• Logging, tracking and resolving first-line technical faults
• Escalating issues in line with company policy where required
• Administering customer accounts and supporting the sign-up process
• Monitoring third-party SLA compliance and processing relevant actions
• Managing service abuse cases
• Contributing to a safe, environmentally responsible working environment

About You

We're looking for someone with a practical, curious approach to technology and a genuine interest in helping customers. You'll need:

Essential

• Working knowledge of Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems
• A basic understanding of networking
• Experience in a customer service environment
• Clear, professional written and verbal communication
• A logical approach to diagnosing and solving problems
• The ability to work well as part of a team

Desirable

• Familiarity with TCP/IP

We're always interested to hear from candidates with additional language skills: Spanish, Italian, French, German, Portuguese or Polish are particularly useful given our work across Europe.
