- Assist in the development, coordination, and delivery of technical training programmes for both the Dealer Network and internal teams.
- Diagnose and resolve technical issues, escalating to GEA HQ Support where necessary along with accurate and detailed descriptions of the issue.
- Communicate technical issues and solutions across the UK Technical Team and produce relevant technical bulletins and guidance for GEA and the Dealer Network.
- Support new AMS projects from pre-installation through to commissioning, ensuring equipment is installed to GEA standards.
- Provide ongoing technical support to Dealers and customers following installation.
- Translate customer requirements into technical solutions and liaise with relevant teams on installation plans.
- Deliver training to AMS customers, enabling them to fully understand the system and maximise its functionality, value, and benefits.
- Maintain accurate project documentation and reporting in line with company requirements.
- Assess risks and ensure compliance with GEA quality, health, safety and environmental (QHSE) standards.
