Firsthand experience

A client informs the organization that they can't analyze their waste data from the previous week. What do you do?

Your immediate response involves a meticulous examination of the situation. First, you access the client's dashboard, selecting the specific time period in question, and confirm the problem from your end. If the issue is verified, the next step is to check the live monitor to determine if the problem lies with the hardware. At the same time, you ask a colleague to remotely check the connection to gain a more in-depth understanding of the problem.

Once the issue is identified as a hardware problem, your action plan becomes clear. You create a ticket for the development team, ensuring that the technical experts are aware of the issue and can begin working on a resolution. Upon communicating back to the client, you request any additional details that may assist in troubleshooting and provide guidance if the device is offline.

Growth

When it comes to learning and growing, we’ve created a way of working where you have flexible growth pathways and lot’s of opportunities to learn new skills. Achieving goals as a team ends up in collective team learning activities to learn and implement new knowledge and skills. You can also make use of a personal education budget, have biannual growth conversations with your manager, and biweekly check ins. To top this off, we also offer sessions with a career coach if you would like to have a more indepth look at your career growth possibilities.
