Technical Field Support Advisor (Field-Based, Nationwide)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Technical Field Support Advisor to join a growing technical team, supporting customers and internal stakeholders across the UK.

This is a highly hands-on, field-based role with a strong emphasis on on-site technical problem solving, first installs, investigations and escalated support cases. You'll be the go-to expert in the field, providing practical solutions where remote support alone isn't enough, while also contributing to remote support and technical training as part of a close-knit technical department.

If you thrive in a customer-facing environment, enjoy diagnosing complex technical issues on site and want a role with real ownership and autonomy, this could be an excellent next step.

The Role

You'll take ownership of all field-based technical support activity, working closely with customers, installers and internal teams to resolve issues efficiently and professionally. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Attending customer sites for first installs, commissioning support, investigations and escalated technical cases
  • Diagnosing and resolving technical issues related to installation, configuration, operation or environment
  • Carrying out site reviews, including field assessments and wireless site surveys where required
  • Acting as the primary on-site escalation point, supporting technical recovery activity
  • Producing clear, structured site reports with root-cause analysis and recommendations
  • Feeding insight back into the wider technical team to reduce repeat visits and drive continuous improvement

When not on site, you'll also:

  • Provide remote technical support via phone, email and ticketing systems
  • Support case progression and decision-making on whether site attendance is required
  • Contribute to technical training sessions for installers, engineers and customers
  • Share field observations to help improve documentation, training materials and support processes
About You

This role will suit someone practical, methodical and confident working independently in a field environment, who also enjoys collaborating as part of a wider technical team.

You'll ideally bring:

  • A minimum of 3 years' experience in fire alarm systems (installation, commissioning, fault-finding, field support or technical service)
  • Strong hands-on fault-finding and diagnostic skills
  • Proven experience in a customer-facing technical support role
  • A solid understanding of installation, commissioning and technical problem resolution
  • Wireless fire alarm experience (desirable but not essential)
  • A full UK driving licence
  • Strong written skills for structured reporting and documentation
  • Competence with MS Office applications
What's on Offer
  • A field-based role with national exposure and genuine technical ownership
  • Company car, laptop and full coverage of business travel and subsistence
  • A stable Monday-Friday working pattern
  • A supportive technical team culture with a strong focus on quality and professional standards
  • Opportunities to influence product improvement, training and support processes
  • Structured benefits including bonus and pension schemes

If you're an experienced fire systems professional who enjoys being out in the field, solving real-world technical challenges and building strong customer relationships, we'd love to tell you more.
