Position Overview:
The Customer and Technical Support Specialist will take responsibility for providing technical support by developing valuable relationships with installers and integrators, as well as establishing partnerships with other manufacturers within specifically defined market segments.
This is not an IT job or related to IT. The role requires experience answering a broad range of technical questions regarding renewable energy systems, battery operating parameters, appropriate Balance of System equipment, proper battery wiring, LFP battery chemistry, battery management, system functionality, interoperability and more. The Support Specialist will handle returns, processing RMA’s and assisting customers with submission of paperwork using our CRM platform.
The Customer Support Specialist will assist and troubleshoot systems in the field with distributors and installers working with SimpliPhi’s Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) batteries and integrated systems. This position is the entry point to a company regarded as an industry leader, but by no means is it entry level. Customer Support, actually answering the phone and engaging with people who have questions, need help or just want to touch base with the company, is what matters most to us: empowering people with information and support to do what they need to do.
