This role is essential for companies handling sensitive information, such as financial records, personal data, or proprietary business information.

What does a data destruction do?

In a data destruction role, your daily tasks often include receiving, inventorying, and securely destroying hard drives, storage devices, or physical documents using approved methods and equipment. You'll document each step to comply with regulatory and client requirements, sometimes providing certificates of destruction. The position typically requires close collaboration with IT teams, logistics staff, and sometimes external vendors to ensure all data is handled according to company policies and legal standards. Attention to confidentiality and following detailed protocols are a must, as you may regularly encounter sensitive information.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in data destruction, and why are they important?

To excel in Data Destruction, you need a keen understanding of data privacy regulations, strong attention to detail, and experience with secure data wiping or physical destruction techniques, often supported by a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with industry tools such as degaussers, shredders, and software-based erasure solutions, as well as certifications like NAID AAA or CompTIA Security+, is often preferred. Dependability, integrity, and clear communication are vital soft skills, as trustworthiness and adherence to strict protocols are essential in this role.

Job description

Retail/ITAD Technician
Job Description - Retail & ITAD Department
DEPARTMENT
Retail / IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)
REPORTS TO
Retail Store Manager (day-to-day supervision); Retail & ITAD Operations Manager (ITAD task direction and quality verification)
FLSA STATUS
Non-Exempt
SCHEDULE
Full-Time, Hourly
LOCATION
Dymin Systems - Urbandale, Iowa (Computer Repair of Des Moines retail location)
POSITION SUMMARY
The Retail/ITAD Technician is a hands-on bench and sales-floor role that also performs IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) processing support. Most of this role's time is spent on customer-facing retail and bench duties - sales, repair intake, diagnostics, and hardware/software repair. The remainder is spent performing data sanitization and ITAD intake tasks under Dymin's established chain-of-custody and data-destruction protocols. This is a split role by design, not an informal one: ITAD work carries client data-security and compliance obligations that do not flex around retail floor volume, so this role's ITAD time and duties are protected and scheduled, not squeezed in around retail demand.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Retail & Bench Operations
  • Engage walk-in customers, provide knowledgeable sales support, and complete point-of-sale transactions.
  • Complete the check-in process for new bench repair orders and answer phone calls to the bench-repair queue.
  • Perform diagnostics and hardware/software repairs on customer PCs per Dymin's repair standards.
  • Communicate diagnostic results to customers and obtain approval before completing repair work.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and on-brand bench and sales floor.

ITAD Support
  • Perform data sanitization on client-decommissioned assets using Dymin's approved tools and approved physical destruction equipment, applying the correct NIST 800-88 category (Purge or Destroy) based on media health and type.
  • Log intake of ITAD assets accurately and maintain chain-of-custody documentation from receipt through final disposition (resale, recycle, or destroy).
  • Complete required per-asset documentation (originating organization, manufacturer, model, serial number, sanitization method, technician signature) to support each Certificate of Destruction.
  • Sort and stage processed assets for resale, recycling, or destruction per grading standards set by the Retail & ITAD Operations Manager.
  • Coordinate Retail and ITAD coverage with the General Manager

Along with all other duties assigned from time to time that may not fit within this job scope.
QUALIFICATIONS
Required
  • 1-2 years of experience with PC troubleshooting, diagnostics, and hardware/software repair.
  • Excellent interpersonal communication and customer service skills.
  • High attention to detail and comfort with documentation-heavy, procedure-driven work - ITAD sanitization steps must be followed exactly as written, every time, with no shortcuts.
  • Demonstrated analytical thinking and logical problem-solving ability.

Preferred
  • Prior exposure to IT asset disposition, data destruction, or e-waste recycling.
  • General interest and enthusiasm for current technology, hardware, and software.

Required Licenses/Certifications
  • None required. Willingness to be trained on, and to consistently follow, Dymin's NIST 800-88-aligned data sanitization procedures and chain-of-custody protocols is required as a condition of performing ITAD duties.

CORE VALUES ALIGNMENT
All Dymin team members are expected to always embrace our core values. This role is expected to especially model Solve It on the bench and sales floor and Do The Right Thing in following data sanitization and chain-of-custody procedures precisely and without exception - even when the retail floor is busy - as a matter of client trust.
