* Component replacement — memory, drives, screens, power supplies, and other hardware parts
* Routine maintenance — performing health checks and ensuring equipment is operational
* Following technical documentation to complete tasks accurately
* Clear communication with support desks and customers
* Independent field work — managing your own time, travel, and job completion
* Basic reporting after each assignment
* Upholding high standards of professionalism
