Dunelm
Retail Tech Engineer (FTC)
Leicester
In office
Description
This is a 1 year fixed-term contract.
Home. There’s no place like it. And there’s no feeling like helping people create the joy of feeling truly at home. At Dunelm, that’s what we do. We’re the UK’s number one choice for homewares because we make home life lovelier for our customers. And the caring and supportive culture we’ve created makes this a place you’ll feel right at home too.
About the area
You might not think it, but remaining the first choice for savvy homeware-shoppers involves some pretty advanced tech. We’ve recently upgraded many of our tills to the latest tech and now we’re rolling out Self-Checkout in over 100 of our stores in the next 12 months.
Join our Tech Team and you’ll not only be part of stimulating projects that are making an impact across our business, you’ll be somewhere you can build a long-term career that always promises to challenge and excite.
What you’ll be doing
The role will be working with our Retail and Store Tech teams, providing ‘mission control’ support for a major software upgrade to our Service Tills and installation our Self-Checkout Tills.
Working as ‘mission control’ you’ll be providing remote support to onsite engineers installing the new tills and store colleagues with any teething issues.
This is hybrid role enabling colleagues to work both from home and in our Head Office in Leicestershire.
There is no mandatory number of office days.
There will only be occasional travel to our stores, for complex challenges, team session and training.
To limit disruption to tills in our stores, the role has a working pattern, consisting of:
1 in 3 Sundays working from 4pm until midnight.
In exchange you’ll get a day of your choice off between Monday – Friday.
Between Monday – Friday we need to provide support between 7am – 7pm.
Colleagues will alternate between 7am – 3pm and 11 – 7pm.
This is an ideal role for both experienced engineers and someone looking to take on a new challenge.
