Overview

The Telecom Field Service Engineer role provides primary support to customers for product training and troubleshooting issues directly related to our telecom products. The FSE must be familiar with all products within his/her scope. Where applicable, this includes proper handling, installation/placement, access, assembly and termination/splicing.

The role also provides front line support to the organization during investigation of customer claims. This requires familiarity with the related trades, tools and proper worksite practices, and an ability to work constructively in situations where there may be disagreement about the cause of a costly product failure. In most instances the FSE will be the company’s only technical representative on-site for an investigation.

The FSE also evaluates new products as a primary judge of their fitness for use and acceptance in the field by craftspeople. The FSE must communicate this information to R&D and Technical Marketing and/or Product Management teams.

The FSE will participate in sales calls and generate sales with product demos. The primary interaction in these cases will be with craftspeople and technically knowledgeable management. The FSE is expected to learn about the customer through these interactions in order to identify beneficial applications for products which are not currently in use at that account. The FSE would then introduce these products to the customer and demonstrate their technical benefits.

The FSE is an ambassador for the brand who wears many hats. They routinely participate in trade shows and generate significant goodwill from their direct and frequent interaction with field construction and engineering personnel. The FSE frequently turns complaints into sales, by helping and educating customers and introducing them to new products and methods of work.

The FSE will author and/or participate in creation of documents, procedures, videos, tutorials, and other content to support the above activities.
