  • Punctual, organized, and physically capable of handling equipment movement, racking, and desk-to-desk hardware rollouts
  • Strong interpersonal skills to interface courteously with on-site customer staff, facility operators, and local cabling contractors
  • Ability to follow step-by-step technical instructions from remote senior engineering leads without skipping procedural safeguards
  • Fluent English communication skills, both verbal and written
