JOB SUMMARY

Our highly motivated team (headquartered in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada) is expanding and is looking for a technically savvy, customer-oriented team player to join our growing team in Sacramento, CA in the position of Junior Systems Specialist.

Who are we? In short, we’re a fast growing, award-winning company with focus on mission-critical communications that help our customers save lives. We are radio, console and dispatch experts. We are innovative, collaborative and supportive. We work with an impressive range of clients in the public safety sector within North America and our equipment handles over 10 million calls per year! And right now, we are deploying console systems across California that need on-site focused customer and system support (aka YOU!).

You will be a key member of our team, requiring strong technical chops, acting as one of our primary on-site contacts for any and ALL customer support responsibilities – installations, configuration, troubleshooting and commissioning – in addition to leading training, site acceptance and factory acceptance tests.

You will be a primary face-to-face support for our customers. If helping, teaching, listening to others and solving problems comes naturally to you – you will love the customer-oriented focus of this role.

Communication skills are imperative to the effectiveness of this position, as the information you receive directly from our customers and on-site will be essential for our Development and Quality Assurance departments to successfully support you in the field. Working collaboratively, you will create innovative solutions and improvements that are committed to the ISO-certified quality we promise.

You will be expected to be detail-oriented and thorough in work processes, in addition to respecting the security and confidentiality of State-level information, records and systems.

Travel will be a major part of the role, making flexibility key. You’ll be working primarily across the state of California (occasionally travelling across the U.S.). We expect the candidate in this role to travel at least 60% of the time.

This is a full-time position working Monday – Friday, although hours may vary depending on the needs of our customers. We have an office in Sacramento with your name on it, although there will be some flexibility to work from home if that appeals. After-hours and weekend work may be expected.
