We are targeting two candidate profiles:

Internship start dates are flexible from April to October 2026. Transition to a full‑time role is subject to successful performance during the internship, role availability, and business needs.

About the Role:

This position involves hardware and network diagnostics followed by physical repair. All interns will be exposed to independent work and working in a team.

Please note that full‑time Data Center Technician roles operate on a rotating shift pattern, which may include days, evenings, nights, weekends, and public holidays, as well as on‑call rotations.
