We're looking for a reliable, practical person to join our small team in a varied role involving IT equipment testing, refurbishment, processing, and occasional customer collections using a company vehicle. Most of your time will be spent at our facility processing and refurbishing equipment. Some days may involve multiple customer collections across the region, while other days will be entirely workshop-based. Although every week is slightly different, much of the role involves following structured processes, accurately recording equipment, and completing routine practical tasks to a consistently high standard. This is not a traditional desk-based IT support role. It is a hands-on operational position for someone who enjoys working directly with physical IT equipment and takes pride in doing things properly. What You'll Be Doing * Testing and refurbishing laptops, desktops, servers, and other IT equipment * Recording serial numbers, specifications, condition grades, and test results accurately * Using internal systems, spreadsheets, CRM, or stock-management software * Preparing equipment for reuse, resale, recycling, or secure disposal * Organising, tracking, and storing incoming equipment * Following company procedures to maintain full equipment traceability * Carrying out occasional customer collections using a company long-wheelbase van * Loading, securing, unloading, and moving IT equipment safely * Providing friendly and professional customer service at client sites * Helping to keep the workshop clean, organised, and safe * Supporting the wider team with general workshop and operational duties where required ## Related Videos - [Agile work at CARIAD – Creating a customer web application for controlling the vehicle ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/200-agile-work-at-cariad-creating-a-customer-web-application-for-controlling-the-vehicle) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) - [Launching a marketplace on-time: A lesson in taking shortcuts using spreadsheets!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/477-launching-a-marketplace-on-time-a-lesson-in-taking-shortcuts-using-spreadsheets) - [Fleet Management - Reinvented](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/473-fleet-management-reinvented) - [Fake or News: Coding on a Phone, Emotional Support Toasters, ChatGPT Weddings and more - Anselm Hannemann](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1790-fake-or-news-coding-on-a-phone-emotional-support-toasters-chatgpt-weddings-and-more-anselm-hannemann) - [From Global Capability Centers to AI-Powered Command Centers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100096-from-global-capability-centers-to-ai-powered-command-centers) ## Related Articles - [UK Business Culture and Etiquette](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/326-uk-business-culture-and-etiquette) - [IT Salaries in UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/288-it-salaries-in-uk) - [System change: restart as developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/39-system-change-restart-as-developer) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Software Engineer Salary in The UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/231-software-engineer-salary-in-the-uk) - [How should you format your IT resume?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/68-how-should-you-format-your-it-resume)
