• Travel to client sites based on SLAs for reactive maintenance and support.
• Assist with new installations, locker deployment, cable routing, and inventory organization.
• Follow safety protocols and complete regular technical training.

Requirements

• Must have valid work authorisation for the UK – sponsorship is not available.
• Must hold a valid UK driver’s licence.
• Comfortable working from home initially; flexibility to move to a hybrid setup as the UK office is established.
• Strong technical problem-solving and diagnostic skills.
• Proficient with basic IT tools, including Excel and software troubleshooting.
• Ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and communicate clearly.
• Strong customer service orientation.

Preferred Qualifications

• Supportive and innovative team environment.
• Ongoing training and development.
• Be part of a growing mission focused on sustainable, smart logistics solutions.
