About the role
Our site runs high-density GPU infrastructure around the clock, and we are hiring at both Data Center Technician and Senior Data Center Technician levels who can handle the most demanding hardware work on site. This is a hands-on individual contributor role in the shift team. Level of seniority will be determined by your experience, technical capability and the complexity of work you can handle independently.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a hands-on, all-rounder role covering server installation, hardware break/fix, rack builds, copper and fibre cabling, link-level troubleshooting and general site operations. You will work independently within your level of responsibility while collaborating closely with other technicians, network engineers, system administrators and wider infrastructure teams. You'll be the person the team turns to for the complex jobs: GPU server installs, tricky diagnostics, repairs others can't crack, and clean, high-quality network cabling at scale.
At the senior level, you will take on more complex technical work, lead the technical execution of deployments and build-outs, mentor junior technicians and help improve operating procedures and technical standards.
Your responsibilities
- Install, configure, and maintain GPU servers, storage systems, networking equipment, and structured cabling, including high-density and liquid-cooled deployments.
- Diagnose and repair complex hardware faults on enterprise GPU servers, covering component-level troubleshooting, RMA handling, and root-cause analysis.
- Perform rack and stack, copper and fibre cabling, and hardware refresh work to a high quality standard.
- Troubleshoot link-level network faults, from cable and transceiver testing through to isolating the failure, including fibre optics work for switch integration.
- Monitor data center environmental conditions including temperature, humidity, and power, and respond to alerts during your shifts.
- Contribute hands-on to build-outs, migrations, and refresh projects as the site grows.
- Write and improve the SOPs and procedures the site runs on, and mentor junior and mid-level technicians on the shift team.

- Ability to work on-site full-time in shift rotation.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and a broad scope of work
Nice to have
- Experience with liquid cooling — DLC loops, and maintenance of liquid cooling solutions.
