Customer Support Representative

Do you enjoy solving problems and learning new technology?

Are you the person your friends and family turn to when something isn't working?

Do you enjoy figuring things out, asking questions, and learning something new every day?

At DiCAN, we're committed to learning, continuous growth, and building a team that enjoys working together. We believe great technical support starts with curiosity, problem-solving, and a passion for helping others. You don't need years of industry experience to succeed in this role, we'll teach you our products and provide the training and mentorship needed to be successful. What we're looking for is someone who is eager to learn, enjoys solving challenges, and wants to build a career in technical support.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you. We welcome applicants from a variety of backgrounds who are curious, enjoy learning new technology, and are excited to develop their skills in technical support.

Position Summary

The Customer Support Representative provides consistent support to our customers and internal team members throughout the customer lifecycle.

  This role includes customer support, technical troubleshooting and hardware preparation and continuous learning in a fast-paced technology environment. Every day brings a different challenge. One day you may be helping a customer solve a technical issue over the phone, the next you may be preparing hardware for installation, assisting an installer in the field, or learning about new product features. We don't expect you to know every answer on day one. We expect you to be curious, ask great questions, think critically, and enjoy solving problems. Our experienced team will provide the training and mentorship needed to help you succeed.
