• Manage direct-access cases received from Resource Coordinators for authorized, "connected" customers.
• Conduct structured intake procedures via Salesforce (or regional equivalents) to verify warranty status, service agreements, and system connectivity.
• Proactively communicate system performance, recommendations, and issue resolutions to customers.
• Document cases thoroughly and identify potential sales or service expansion opportunities, submitting them to Account Managers via the Tech Lead program.

4. Collaboration, Reporting & Regional Coverage

• Write and deliver professional, data-driven reports detailing building metrics, observations, trouble logs, and optimization recommendations.
• Partner with Account Managers, Project Managers, Account Engineers, and field staff to design and evaluate comprehensive client solutions.
• Participate in recurring regional meetings, training, and cross-regional dispatch support.
• Coordinate with Remote Support Team and regional leader to plan coverage for absences, and peak demand periods.

Qualifications & Experience

• Technical Expertise: Comprehensive, hands-on knowledge of Building Automation Systems (BAS) and commercial HVAC equipment systems.
• Networking & Protocols: Solid understanding of database management, IP networking, and industry-standard BAS protocols (such as BACnet, LonTalk, and Modbus).
• Software Proficiency: Highly computer literate, with proficiency in technical report writing and navigation of Microsoft Office Suite (Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and CRM platform (Salesforce).
• Problem-Solving Skills: Exceptional capability to solve practical technical issues, think critically, and adapt quickly to non-standardized situations.
