The Company
Join a company that places strong emphasis on customer satisfaction and technical expertise. As a Customer Support Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in providing top-tier technical services while acting as a subject matter expert for internal teams and customers.

About the role:
In this position, you will provide both reactive and proactive support, focusing on incident management, firmware upgrades, and technical escalations. You’ll also guide Tier 1 support teams, ensuring high-quality service delivery to customers. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with strong networking experience, particularly with Cisco and Fortinet products, to make an impact in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.

The Customer Support Engineer sits between the Tier 1 Team and Network Engineers within the company. 

This is a full-time role of 40 hours per week, and although there is a WFH function, this is not a remote role and is based on-site in Christchurch, New Zealand. 

Key Responsibilities:
  • Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues, particularly related to internet connectivity, wireless networking, and firewalls (Ruckus, Cisco, Fortinet).
  • Provide technical guidance and support to internal teams, ensuring timely resolution of customer issues.
  • Act as a technical escalation point, upskilling Tier 1 support teams and taking ownership of complex cases.
  • Maintain and upgrade firmware, ensuring network reliability and security.
  • Proactively identify potential issues and resolve them independently.
About you:
You’ll have a strong networking technical background, and the ability to communicate complex technical issues to non-technical users. You should be customer-focused, a self-starter, and capable of working both independently and as part of a team.

Skills and Experience Required:
  • Network engineering experience, with a focus on wireless switching and firewalls (Cisco and Fortinet).
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to handle technical escalations.
  • As this is a customer focused role, strong communication skills (written & verbal) is essential to provide a high level of service. 
  • Proficiency in DHCP, DNS, and wireless communication standards.
  • Relevant certifications (CCNA, NSE 5) highly desirable.
  • Experience with Salesforce ticketing systems and Google products a plus.
What’s on offer:
  • Hybrid work setup, offering a balance between in-office and remote work.
  • Opportunities for continuous learning and professional development.
  • A supportive and collaborative team culture that values work-life balance.
  • Salary banding from $90,000 to $100,000
