Job description

Location: Dartford, Kent - fully on site

Type: Contract, ASAP start - expected to go permanent

Rate: £160 per day (inside IR35 - umbrella)

ECS Resource Group is working with an established IT managed services provider that supports laptops and desktops for large public and private sector organisations.

Their customers are keeping devices for longer rather than replacing them, so they now have a large and growing volume of out-of-warranty laptops to repair in-house. That workload needs a dedicated, hands-on repair engineer at their Dartford site.

What you'll be doing

• Diagnosing and repairing business laptops, mainly Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell Latitude and HP EliteBook / ZBook / ProBook


• Carrying out invasive repairs: screens, keyboards, batteries, casings/palmrests, mainboards, and memory replacements and upgrades


• Repairing desktop PCs and printers


• Turning repairs around efficiently to a consistent standard

What you'll need

• Proven, recent hands-on laptop repair experience. You'll regularly have had machines fully stripped down, not just swapped batteries or keyboards


• Confident mainboard and screen replacement on at least some of the ranges above


• Experience from a repair centre, bench, warranty break-fix or refurbishment background would suit well


• Able to work productively and keep throughput up


• No accreditations are required
