We're looking for individuals with basic IT hardware knowledge, ideally gained through IT support, desktop deployments, hardware refresh projects or IT asset management.

• Supporting the preparation of laptops for recycling or onward processing.
• Scheduling and coordinating DPD collections from remote employees across the UK.
• Managing the booking in and dispatch of IT equipment.
• Identifying and escalating missing, damaged or incorrectly recorded devices.
• Supporting general IT asset management and stock control activities.

Skills & Experience Required

• Basic understanding of IT hardware, particularly laptops and PCs.
• Comfortable accessing BIOS settings and following technical instructions.
• Previous experience in IT support, hardware deployments, IT asset management or a similar environment would be beneficial.
• Good administration and data entry skills, including spreadsheets and asset tracking systems.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to follow structured processes.
• Organised, reliable and comfortable working in a busy, high-volume environment.
• Willingness to undertake light manual handling of IT equipment.

Desirable Experience

• Laptop deployment, hardware refresh or device recovery projects.
• IT Asset Management (ITAM) or IT Asset Disposal (ITAD).
• Previous use of CMDB or IT inventory systems.
• Experience working with courier booking systems or IT equipment logistics.
