Why join Flotek?
Flotek Group is one of the fastest-growing technology companies in the UK, helping small and medium-sized businesses with IT, cyber security and communications technology. You will join our "Purple Army", a collaborative and fast-paced team that values expertise, trust, recognition and delivering a genuine "Wow" for our partners. Every employee shares ownership of the group, so you are genuinely invested in our success.
The role:
You will be a key point of contact on our comms helpdesk, providing high-quality remote support across VoIP, connectivity and data networking. You will resolve issues efficiently, escalate with clear diagnostics where needed, and make sure both our internal teams and partner environments get outstanding service.
This is a full-time, office-based role and you can be based at either our Pencoed office in Bridgend, South Wales, or our St Asaph office in North Wales - whichever suits you best. You must be able to commute reliably to one of these offices. We cannot offer sponsorship or relocation assistance, so you must already have the right to work in the UK.
What you will be doing:
- Incident management: Be the first point of contact for telecoms incidents, logging, categorising and prioritising faults in line with ITIL best practice.
- Service level management: Resolve tickets within agreed SLAs with timely responses, accurate updates and clear documentation.
- Ownership and escalation: Own incidents end to end, aim for First Contact Resolution, and escalate to Comms Specialists or carriers with clear diagnostics.
- Technical troubleshooting: Diagnose VoIP systems, SIP trunks, handsets, routers, broadband circuits (FTTC, FTTP, SoGEA) and internal network connectivity.
- Supplier coordination: Liaise with broadband carriers and hosted voice providers to progress faults and drive timely resolution.
- Service monitoring: Spot and respond to outages, call quality issues, latency and performance concerns before they escalate.
- Continual improvement: Document known issues, workarounds and fixes in the Knowledge Base to speed up future resolution.
- Service communication: Give clear, confident updates to customers and stakeholders, managing expectations during incidents.
- On-call support: Support telecoms services during scheduled weekend and out-of-hours cover, following major incident escalation paths.
