Job Summary

We are seeking a highly organized, security-conscious, and technically proficient Engineer I (ITAD Project Lead) to oversee our end-to-end onsite data destruction and data centre decommissioning projects. In this role, you will bridge the gap between project planning and hands-on field execution. You will lead field technicians through complex infrastructure teardowns, enforce rigorous data security standards, ensure dynamic asset-tracking accuracy, and deliver certified outcomes directly from live enterprise environments.

Project Planning & Execution

• Work within a cross functional team to formulate onsite decommissioning project plans, including timelines, labour allocations, chain-of-custody protocols, and risk mitigation strategies.
• Lead onsite field operations for data centre infrastructure retirement, encompassing the decommissioning of servers, storage arrays, network hardware, and structured cabling systems.
• Coordinate the exact sequence of equipment dismounting, labelling, staging, and packing.
• Serve as the primary onsite point of contact for clients, data centre facilities managers,and the cross-functional teams.

Data Destruction & Chain of Custody

• Enforce strict adherence to security and data privacy policies, complying with global standards such as NIST SP 800-88, IEEE2883-2022.
• Oversee and execute onsite data destructionprotocols, including high-volume software-based data sanitization, physicaldegaussing, and hardware shredding/crushing/punching.
• Reconcile physical storage media counts againstserialization manifests prior to destruction to ensure zero inventorydiscrepancies.

Logistics & Material Management

• Oversee the secure categorization of decommissioned assets into separate streams for client redeployment, resale/remarketing, destruction, and e-waste recycling.
• Work with the Logistics team to implement strict chain-of-custody controls, including tamper-evident packaging, serialized inventory manifests, and secure transport scheduling.

Team Leadership & Compliance

• Supervise, mentor, and schedule technical field teams and subcontractors during onsite deployments, driving a culture of safety and precision.
• Handle localized operational incidents, unexpected timeline blockers, or facility constraint changes promptly.

Requirement

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience in IT Asset Disposition (ITAD), data centre decommissioning, or enterprise IT infrastructure management.
• Proven experience leading onsite technical teams in mission-critical data centre environments.
• Strong knowledge of server hardware, storage infrastructure (SAN, NAS, DAS), network equipment, and data centre physical infrastructure.
• Frequent travel to client sites, data centres, and project locations is required.
• Proficient in using certified data erasure software (e.g., Blancco) and industrial data destruction equipment such as degaussers and mobile shredders.
• Strong inventory management and asset-tracking capabilities with meticulous attention to serialized asset control.
• Excellent client-facing communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to remain composed and make sound decisions under tight timelines and operational pressures.
• Physically fit and capable of handling IT equipment weighing up to 20kg, and working within active data centre environments
