About ENGINEERINGUK
At ENGINEERINGUK, we own the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all our global infrastructure. Our team is responsible for ensuring the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers.

We are looking for a talented Data Center Operations Technician to join our growing team in South Africa, Cape Town. The successful candidate will be responsible for processing and facilitating large scale legacy Data Center equipment through a liquidation process to ensure that targeted equipment is ready to be removed from our facilities in South Africa.

The ideal candidate will have 2+ years of computer hardware troubleshooting and repair experience, as well as 1+ years of computer networking experience. They must also have high school or equivalent diploma. A strong understanding of customer service principles and ability to operate efficiently under pressure are essential for this role.

A Day in the Life
A Rack Decomm technician begins their shift by reviewing the day's decommissioning queue and safety protocols. They identify targeted legacy racks, verify documentation, and coordinate with facilities teams to complete power isolation. Throughout the day, they methodically dismantle server racks, following strict SOPs for handling sensitive customer data. This includes properly tagging components and documenting serial numbers.

In the afternoon, they process equipment for liquidation, maintain detailed inventory records, and regularly communicate with other teams to coordinate rack removal logistics. Ensuring all safety and security procedures are met is crucial for this role.

About the Team
We value diverse experiences and welcome applications from candidates who do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description. We strive for flexibility as part of our working culture and offer endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship, and career-advancing resources to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.
