## About the Role

We're looking for someone with genuine hands-on aptitude and sound operational instincts, even without much data center experience yet.

 * Demonstrated aptitude for hardware work. You're comfortable with component-level tasks and rack and stack.
 * A basic understanding of how a network link works, including copper and fibre cabling.
 * A methodical approach to faults. You work a problem step by step rather than trying things until something changes.
 * Operational discipline. You understand criticality, and you stop and escalate rather than improvising when you're unsure.
 * Ability and willingness to work an on-site shift rotation.
 * Comfortable with ambiguity and a broad scope of work.

Nice to have

 * Any exposure to liquid cooling or GPU hardware
 * Interest in growing into fibre optics and link-level troubleshooting work.

This is an all-rounder role rather than a specialist one. You'll cover hardware, cabling, and general site operations rather than going deep in a single area, and there's a real path to grow., * Install and maintain servers, storage systems, networking equipment, and structured cabling alongside more experienced technicians.

 * Rack and stack servers, switches, and supporting equipment
 * Install, route, and label copper and fibre cabling
 * Test cable and fibre links and help trace faults to the failing component
 * Handle general site operations work, from receiving and inventorying hardware through to physical site checks
