The Opportunity


ASCE - the Assurance and Safety Case Environment is the most widely adopted commercial software for the creation and management of safety and assurance cases.


ASCE is used in sectors like nuclear, medical, defence, housing, finance, air traffic control and rail sectors and in critical infrastructure protection.

Its client base includes large multinationals as well as government agencies and other leading national and international infrastructure providers.

ASCE is developed and maintained by an internal team.

In addition to the tool licences, users are encouraged to contract a set of services including software upgrade, software maintenance and technical support.

Alongside with product-related services we provide training courses and consultancy services.

We are recruiting a technical specialist to work within the ASCE team.

The Challenge


The role encompasses a number of technical activities including customer support, licensing and record keeping, software testing, reporting and producing technical documentation.


The responsibilities include managing SLAs, providing customer support and escalating requests according to a predefined hierarchy, product provisioning, internal reporting, user-level testing, support for the launch of new product releases, producing tutorials, user guides and technical documentation, support website updates.


The technical specialist should be equipped with technical and soft skills to effectively complete each task at hand with limited delegation to external staff members.


One of the key aspects of the role is to understand the product life cycle from the user's perspective and how internal processes, resources and systems fit together to support the different requests.


Due to the different nature of tasks, they should be able to manage their time in a flexible way considering the overall workload and urgency of some requests.


Previous experience of ASCE is not a prerequisite but being a fast learner is essential as the new team member needs to become a proficient ASCE user and quickly develop a good knowledge of the main technical aspects of the product.
