This role requires the exercise of independent judgment and discretion to triage inbound issues, resolve what’s solvable remotely, and determine when a ticket needs on-site hands or specialized engineering attention. FSSs staff the 1-800-Cumulus support line and own inbound support tickets for their assigned accounts, keeping active job sites running with minimal disruption. FSSs operate from a regional hub, carrying a caseload of standard accounts included as part of Cumulus’s standard post-deployment support agreement. When a ticket can’t be resolved remotely, the FSS escalates it to Deployment Engineering; if Deployment Engineering can’t solve it either, it escalates to Tier 2 Engineering Services. FSSs report to the Director of Implementation. Responsibilities Support Ticket & Phone Line Ownership Staff the 1-800-Cumulus support line on a rotating schedule.
