Remote Appliance Tech Support & Field Specialist

Bertazzoni is a sixth-generation Italian family-owned appliance brand, designing and manufacturing premium kitchen appliances since 1882. In North America we import, distribute, and support Bertazzoni products through a network of authorized dealers and service providers across the US and Canada. We are growing our internal service capability and this role is a key part of that investment. The Role This is primarily a technical support role. You will be the first point of contact for Bertazzoni’s authorized service providers across the West territory — answering the inbound technical support line, diagnosing appliance issues remotely, and guiding technicians to resolution via phone or video call. The goal is to resolve as many cases as possible without requiring a physical site visit. When remote resolution is not possible, you will be deployed in the field for on-site intervention — performing complex repairs, conducting customer education visits, and supporting service providers directly. The role is based in the Northern California / Sacramento / Central Valley and requires easy access to San Francisco and the greater Sacramento area.
