Technical Support Specialist | Newport, Wales | Hybrid Working | Full Time | £45,500–£49,500 per annum

Mobiltex is an IIoT and software company delivering remote monitoring and software solutions that help maintain pipeline health for industries delivering critical services. Their solutions target real-time corrosion prevention, gas pressure management and water network optimisation, primarily serving midstream and downstream energy operators and water utilities.

Mobiltex is a high-growth company in an active phase of product and organisational scaling, with potential for Mergers and Acquisitions, as well as a growing international footprint. This is an environment that rewards people who can build structure where it doesn’t yet exist and drive commercial output as the organisation scales.

The Role

As a Technical Support Specialist, you’ll provide technical support, onboarding and training to customers while working closely with Service, Engineering, Sales and Product teams. The role combines hands-on technical expertise with customer engagement to support the successful deployment, adoption and ongoing performance of IoT solutions across the energy and water sectors.

This is an early-career role within the support team, reporting to the Support Manager. You’ll have the opportunity to build your technical and troubleshooting expertise and develop towards a senior support or implementation role over time.

Your first three months will be office-based, allowing you to gain hands-on experience with the hardware and learn alongside the team. After this, the role will move to a hybrid working pattern combining office and home working.

The role also involves occasional customer site visits for product training and on-site diagnosis.
