Break Fix Technician

Description

1) Safety & Compliance Procedures:

- Data center technicians must work with power tools, handle components with sharp edges, and operate in environments that require proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Understanding and following safety protocols, media handling procedures (for customer data), and emergency response procedures is a fundamental requirement.

2) Hardware Troubleshooting & Repair:

- The primary job of a DCO technician involves "breakfix" duties on servers with hardware or firmware issues. This requires the ability to diagnose problems and replace components like motherboards, CPU’s, PSU’s, NIC’s, test fiber optic cables, and perform systematic isolation testing to determine points of failure.

3) Network Knowledge

We are looking for Data Center Technicians to join our rapidly expanding team. This position involves hardware and network diagnostics followed by physical repair and may include participation in an on-call rotation.

All candidates should be willing to work both independently with a team. Work prioritization, organizational skills, effective communication, and the ability to react quickly are critical to being successful.
