• Technical knowledge of GPU servers, compute nodes, storage platforms, and high‑speed networking technologies.
• Experience working within project delivery frameworks, collaborating closely with Project Managers, and managing subcontractors or vendors.
• Excellent problem‑solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot and resolve issues in on‑site, time‑critical environments.
• Strong communication skills in English, both written and verbal.
