Your Future
As one of the most dynamic and forward-thinking companies in the electronic security and lone worker industry, Reliance believes in growing our own talent. This role offers far more than a position — it is a platform.
Whether your ambitions lie in operations, administration, account management, technical services, or leadership, we will invest in the right person and support their journey. For those who demonstrate the right attitude and commitment, we offer competitive salaries, good company benefits, combined with career opportunities across our rapidly growing business that are genuinely without limit.
We can teach skills, but first and foremost if your ambition and ethos match our values below – call us.
Role
Based out of our state-of-the-art Bracknell Headquarters, the Service Desk Engineer is part of a team responsible for coordinating service, maintenance, and support activities. More than just an administrator, this role is responsible for first-line support and triage of incoming faults to provide fast resolution to clients and to save unnecessary dispatch of engineers' vehicles.
Where faults require further investigation or a higher level of specialist knowledge, it is your responsibility to escalate to the most appropriate resource, providing background information and support, ensuring that the issue is systematically resolved and logged.
This role is pivotal to ensure the efficient handling of reactive faults, planned maintenance, and service requests for systems such as CCTV, Access Control, Intruder Alarms, and related security technologies, while maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction and service level agreements. As a technology advocate, you will provide technical support to the desk-based service administrators as well as the field-based service team. This role is equally suited to a seasoned engineer who wishes to work in a comfortable office environment during office hours or for a competent trainee at the start of their journey. Full training will be provided.
