• Carry out break-fix, component replacement and preventative maintenance
• Support HP ProLiant and Dell server environments
• Work across server rooms, machine rooms and technical facilities
• Keep hardware reliable and downtime to a minimum

• Document work accurately and follow established procedures
• Work with customer teams and support engineers to maintain service continuity
• Proven hardware, server or infrastructure support experience
• Hands-on repair of HP ProLiant (Gen10, Gen10 Plus, Gen11 or similar)
