Our true differentiator in the market is exceptional technical support and customer service. Our help desk team delivers remote service, software operation assistance, and troubleshooting for A/V systems and video displays, as well as training for customers—including stadium control room operators and live event staff—using an extensive knowledge base and hands-on team training.

Responsibilities

  • Provide world-class technical support promptly, with a focus on quality and first-call resolution for customers, dealers, and end-users.
  • Assist in the continual improvement and expansion of the Watchfire knowledge base—a web-based collection of internal and customer-facing troubleshooting, how-to, and resolution documentation.
  • Maintain detailed customer records in the Customer Service database for each service/support call, email, and chat.
  • Perform special software and engineering assignments or duties as required.
  • Provide on-call or after-hours support, especially during evenings and weekends to align with live event schedules.

  • Guide on-site personnel through hardware and software configurations and emergency procedures during live events.
  • Assist customers with content management and operation of audio and video display software.

Requirements

  • Solid understanding of networking basics (not just computer operation).
  • Basic understanding of electronics, including college coursework.
  • Previous hands-on network installation/maintenance coursework or experience (e.g., network setup, cabling, PC setup, telecommunications).
  • 1+ years of prior helpdesk or phone support experience, ideally in IT, software, or computer phone support.
  • Exceptional verbal communication skills and demonstrated customer service ability.
  • Experience in live event production, broadcast, or A/V integration is strongly preferred.
