Hardware repairs and component replacement (
CPU, RAM, mainboard, blades

Inventory management & documentation of hardware and parts

Take care of our on‑site warehouse (stock, order, material flow)

Very basic Juniper switch tasks (initial setup / base config — AI‑assisted setup is totally fine)

Work closely with the data center technicians on site

Must‑have:

• Hands‑on experience with server hardware (builds / swaps / repairs) — junior profiles welcome
• Solid basics in Debian Linux
• First experience with Proxmox (setup / basic understanding / common tasks)
• Structured and reliable working style (inventory/warehouse/documentation)
• Driver’s license (Class
  
  B) and mobility
• Good internal communication skills (team + data center staff)

Nice‑to‑have:

• Basic exposure to Juniper (very rudimentary is enough)
• Basic English and/or German skills

Benefits

• Permanent contract at ZAP-Hosting
• 30 days of vacation
• Salary negotiable
• Classic Mon‑Fri schedule
• Weekend/emergency work is optional (by agreement + compensation)

• Our own office inside the data center in Eygelshoven incl.
  on‑site warehouse
• 3 monitors per workstation +
  air‑conditioned workspace
• Flat hierarchies, young team, lots of room to improve and shape processes

Start:
as soon as possible.
