About Us

WrightPlan is a growing company specializing in software solutions for the crane & rigging, machinery moving, and specialized construction industries. We streamline complex workflows and enhance operational efficiency for our clients, providing them with tools to manage their projects more effectively.

Overview
We’re seeking a proactive, technically minded Product Support Specialist to join our team full-time. This role is critical to the success of our Professional Services team. The ideal candidate is driven by customer success and believes that our customers’ problems are our problems. They’re willing to go the extra mile to see every issue through to resolution. Along with technical fluency in software or technology, they bring a solution-focused mindset. When something goes wrong, their first instinct is to find a way forward.

Excellent communication skills are essential. This person can explain technical issues clearly to customers of all backgrounds, and they don’t hesitate to pick up the phone when a conversation will solve a problem faster than an email thread.
