A vacancy has arisen for a Software Support Analyst to deliver technical support to Public Safety customers.

You will primarily support software used by Emergency Services during and in preparation for emergency incidents. These systems take the form of field-based applications running on ruggedised touch screens, automated resource location (asset tracking) systems, mobile data communications systems, emergency preparation and response systems and operational data management systems.

In addition, there may be an opportunity to be part of a core 24/7 operational team covering the Public Safety customer base in the UK.

The issues dealt with are varied and could include: investigating communication failures occurring during emergency responses, connecting to customer environments to identify the source of a build issue, or resolving integration issues that ensure front line Emergency Services personnel have access to the latest data to help them save lives.

HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE TEAM

• You will respond to incidents in accordance with the customer's Service Level Agreement (SLA).

• Progressing incidents and ensuring incident history is updated via the Incident Management software tool.

• You will undertake problem identification and resolution involving re-creation of the incident, configuration analysis, data investigation or by site visit if required.

• Providing the ability to test the validity of customer calls using their own data.

• Engage with the Software Development Team during fault investigation, development and emergency changes.

• Deploy software releases to customer live and test environments

• Conducting product demonstrations and training remotely/onsite if required.

• Carry out on-site annual review meetings with customers and ensure all actions are followed up within the target timescale.

• Attend exhibitions and support pre-sales initiatives with current or prospective customers as appropriate.

ABOUT YOU
