  • Strong understanding of power distribution units (PDUs).
  • Experience installing enterprise servers (Dell, HPE, Supermicro, or equivalent).
  • Ability to read rack elevation diagrams and deployment instructions.
  • Comfortable lifting up to 50 lbs and working in confined rack environments.
  • Familiarity with ESD procedures and safe handling of sensitive hardware.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to follow precise instructions.
