  High School Diploma or equivalent required. Enrollment in or completion of an IT, Computer Science, or related technical program is highly desirable but not required.
• Technical Aptitude: Basic knowledge of computer hardware, operating systems (Windows, ChromeOS, macOS, iOS), and common office software (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365).
• Physical Requirements: Ability to lift up to 40 pounds, bend, stoop, and stand for extended periods, as this role involves moving boxes of equipment and setting up devices under desks and on tech carts.
