Software Help Desk Technician
About RVS Software
RVS Software, Inc. has been providing utility billing software to municipalities and organizations nationwide for over 30 years. Our success is built on long-term customer relationships and a support team that understands both the software and the business processes behind utility billing.
About the Role
We are seeking an Application Support Specialist to provide hands-on support for our utility billing software. This role focuses on troubleshooting application issues, assisting customers with billing and accounting concepts, and guiding users through software functionality via phone, remote login, and email.
This is not a programming or development position, and it is not a call-center role. The ideal candidate enjoys problem-solving, working directly in business software, and helping customers understand how the system works in real-world billing scenarios.
Training for this role is primarily in office, hands-on and observational. New team members learn by shadowing experienced technicians during live customer support sessions, taking detailed notes, and gradually applying what they learn.
The ideal candidate is self-motivated, comfortable learning in real time, and proactive about asking questions, documenting processes, and independently reinforcing their knowledge between calls.

Assist customers with billing and basic accounting concepts (debits, credits, balances)
