The role resolves functional and semi-routine technical issues directly with customers, works with minimal guidance, and independently completes preventative maintenance and repairs. Reporting to the Field Service Supervisor, the position supports service quality and customer satisfaction at individual sites and machines.

 

Responsibilities

  • Provides Support: Communicates directly with customers (e.g., email, chat, video, phone) to gather details of service needs, and asks technical questions about specific product alerts. Uses technical documentation to determine cause of failure for functional and semi-routine technical issues and performs necessary resolution, with guidance as needed.

Records details of specific work performed (e.g., machine status, work completed, repairs, materials, faults, deficiencies) on each machine, independently.
  • Product Repair: Repairs or replaces component level hardware parts for machines covered under warranty or service contracts. Follows close guidance when completing and submitting expense reports for services not covered under warranty. Reviews product verification data (e.g., system connection, paperwork, pay, configuration reporting, system checks) to confirm the machine is working properly, and verifies independently, double-checking with on-site FST that the issue has been resolved.
  • Creates Service Notifications: Creates tickets for Lottery service and basic gaming issues (i.e., Cadence). Identifies details needed (e.g., communication, pictures, part numbers, diagrams, drawings) to complete a ticket, according to documented process.
  • Case Management: Participates in regular team meetings to align on upcoming work (e.g., new contracts, outstanding cases, product updates). Monitors assigned cases and understands potential downstream effects of unresolved high-priority issues. Follows written protocol to submit regular reports (e.g., time sheets, service work orders) and completes administrative duties (e.g., expense reports, Field Change Orders, preventative maintenance, installation documents, site and service documentation, related paperwork), within established timeframes.
  • Product Training: Gathers follow-up training resources and supports formal product training efforts by setting up new products for training and demonstrating use of specific features, when asked.
  • Product & Process Improvement: Contributes semi-routine support techniques on team communications to troubleshoot common and uncommon issues.
