- Basic technical and IT skills, including the ability to connect equipment to a network and perform simple system checks.
- High attention to detail with strong documentation and reporting skills.
- Fluent English is essential.
- Additional European languages are highly desirable, particularly German, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Dutch, or other local languages.
