• Respond to incidents and work within SLA-driven processes.
• Follow and improve SOPs, MOPs, runbooks and documentation.
• Coordinate with vendors, manufacturers and remote engineering teams.
• Participate in shift and on-call coverage where required.

Requirements

• Hands-on datacentre operations, hardware engineering or infrastructure support experience.
• Strong rack and stack, cabling and server hardware skills.
• Experience troubleshooting and replacing physical components.
• Familiarity with fibre and copper connectivity.
• Comfortable working onsite in a procedure-led, mission-critical environment.
• Professional English and sufficient French for safe site communication.
