• Handle daily technical communication in English with international teams, keeping colleagues informed on changes, incidents and progress.

• Hands-on experience working in data-centers, including hardware installation, cabling and maintenance.
• Experience providing Tier 1 to Tier 3 support across users and infrastructure.
