We currently have limited positions open. We would like to hire driven, committed individuals who can cover as many of these skills as possible. For example, if you are able to take on more than one of the following responsibilities for us we are likely to rank your application more highly! Flexibility is the key. :)
You can read more about Webformix the company at the bottom of this message.
• Priority #1: Site Installer
We need to have as many people on staff as we can who are able to install wireless internet systems on our customers' property, and troubleshoot existing installations.
- ability and desire to work outdoors (climbing on roofs will be commonplace)
- capacity to drive long distances. (40-80 miles per day in company vehicle, seeing 2-4 clients per day)
- proficiency with simple tools (hammer, wrench, screw driver, zip ties, ladders, etc)
- great documentation skills (never miss a step in the process, never miss a form to fill out for an install)
- moderate computer skills at least -- but especially the knack for "making things work". For example, if you can program a VCR (or a TiVo), you have our attention.
- ability to crimp ethernet cable is a plus (easy to learn on the job!)
• Priority #2: Internet Technical Support
We need more people to help us man the phones and address the questions of customers whose internet is not working.
- Good multitasking skills -- you'll need to chat with the client and look up information on a computer at the same time.
- Pleasant, reassuring tone; mild temperment.
- Again, the knack for modeling problems in your head and "making things work" is magic for this position
- Computer skills. We use a web based tool to manage customer relationships and keep our data together.
- Customer commitment!
• Priority #3: sales/marketing skills
We have marketing campaigns, signs, fliers, brochures.. we need a few more man hours per week to help us plan and organize this. Less pressing the flesh but more PR and grass roots presence building.
