Technical Support Engineer

Function

As a Technical Support Engineer, you are a key point of contact for business partners and end customers. You handle technical enquiries and after-sales cases, and ensure that issues are properly analysed and followed up.

You will work closely with, amongst others, the technical team, the logistics department and the field service team. As well as the technical side of things, the role also involves the necessary administrative tasks and customer communication.

• You are the first point of contact for technical enquiries from dealers and end customers.
• You analyse technical problems and work with others to find an appropriate and customer-focused solution.
• You will handle enquiries, complaints and service requests and follow them through from start to finish.
• You will process and follow up on warranty and after-sales cases.
• You should track orders and deliveries via the ERP system.
• You will ensure smooth communication between customers, the logistics department and the technical team.
• You will support the technical field service team with administrative and practical follow-up tasks.
• You keep accurate records of technical and administrative files.
• You communicate professionally with customers, even when dealing with a technical issue or a complex discussion.
• As a Technical Support Engineer, you will help to deliver a high-quality service and build long-term customer relationships.

Profile

For this role as a Technical Support Engineer, we are looking for someone who can combine technical knowledge with strong communication skills. You do not necessarily need to come from the exact same sector: a sound grounding in electricity and mechanics, and the ability to get to the root of technical problems, are more important.

• Ideally, you will have a bachelor’s degree in a technical subject or equivalent qualifications gained through relevant experience.
• You have a good technical understanding of electricity and mechanics.
• A basic understanding or knowledge of gas is an advantage.
• You have an analytical and problem-solving mindset and enjoy getting to the root cause of a technical problem.
• You are customer-focused and feel at ease dealing directly with business clients and end users.
• Even more challenging or complex customer conversations don’t put you off.
• You work accurately and have an eye for detail.
• You have strong administrative skills and are able to manage several technical cases at the same time.
• Experience with ERP software and standard office programmes is an advantage.
• Experience as a Technical Support Engineer, After-Sales Engineer or in another technical service role would be an advantage.
• Experience in a technical production environment is an advantage.
• Proficiency in Dutch is an absolute must.
• In addition, you can express yourself fluently in French and English.
• Knowledge of additional languages is an added bonus.
