Do you have a passion for technology, home cinema, hi-fi, networking, smart home systems, or integrated home control?
Are you someone who enjoys solving technical problems, helping customers, and learning about the latest technology?
If so, AWE could offer the perfect opportunity to build a long-term career within one of the UK's most exciting and fast-growing technology sectors.
About AWE
AWE is one of the UK's leading specialist distributors of premium audio visual, networking, control and smart home technology brands. We work with professional installers, retailers and system integrators across the UK, helping them design and deliver exceptional connected home experiences.
Representing some of the world's most respected technology brands, we pride ourselves on expert advice, exceptional customer service, and industry-leading technical support.
As part of our continued growth, we are looking for a Technical Product Support Executive to join our team at our Epsom headquarters.
The Role
