HSI is seeking a Technical Solutions Specialist I to join our Chemical Management team. This role combines advanced technical support, data management, system administration, and limited back-end responsibilities to help customers successfully manage and maintain their environments.
As a key technical resource, you will work closely with customers, Product, Development, and internal teams to troubleshoot complex issues, support data-related requests, perform system updates, and help ensure a positive customer experience.
