About the role
n
Our sites run high-density GPU infrastructure around the clock, and the physical layer has to be right every time. As a Junior Data Center Technician you'll build your hands-on skills on real production hardware, working alongside experienced technicians on the shift team.
n
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.
n




Your responsibilities
n
n
Install and maintain servers, storage systems, networking equipment, and structured cabling alongside more experienced technicians.
n
Replace failed hardware components including drives, fans, PSUs, motherboards, and CPUs
n
Rack and stack servers, switches, and supporting equipment
n
Install, route, and label copper and fibre cabling
n
Test cable and fibre links and help trace faults to the failing component
n
Handle general site operations work, from receiving and inventorying hardware through to physical site checks
n
n
Your key competencies
n
We're looking for someone with genuine hands-on aptitude and sound operational instincts, even without much data center experience yet.
n
n
Some hands-on technical or operations experience, in a data center, a comparable critical environment, or an adjacent technical trade.
n
Demonstrated aptitude for hardware work. You're comfortable with component-level tasks and rack and stack.
n
A basic understanding of how a network link works, including copper and fibre cabling.
n
A methodical approach to faults. You work a problem step by step rather than trying things until something changes.
n
Operational discipline. You understand criticality, and you stop and elevate rather than improvising when you're unsure.
n
Ability and willingness to work an on-site shift rotation.
n
Comfortable with ambiguity and a broad scope of work.
n
n
Nice to have
n
n
Any exposure to liquid cooling or GPU hardware
n
Interest in growing into fibre optics and link-level troubleshooting work.
