Field Technician

Role

Orcrist operates as a fully remote-first group across three locations, which means physical infrastructure isn't centralized in one office; it's distributed across company sites, and apartments/residences that need technical and physical setup (network hardware, locks, alarm systems, access control). This role owns the "boots on the ground" side of physical technology; the person who shows up, installs, fixes, and secures premises, rather than the person who designs policy.

What you'll do

• Install, maintain, and troubleshoot physical technology across company locations and employee apartments/residences (network hardware, access control systems, alarm systems, CCTV/surveillance where in scope, locks and physical hardening measures)
• Conduct security assessments of apartments/residences used for company purposes and implement corrective measures (secure locks, window/door hardening, alarm installation)
• Manage IT/AV hardware lifecycle at physical sites: setup, repairs, replacements, decommissioning
• Travel to sites across Germany and in Marbella on short notice to resolve urgent physical/technical issues
• Maintain an inventory of physical security and technical equipment across all sites and residences
• Coordinate with local vendors/contractors (locksmiths, alarm companies, ISPs) where work needs to be outsourced
• Document all installations, repairs, and security upgrades for audit purposes
• Serve as the first point of contact for physical technology emergencies (e.g., break-in, hardware failure, alarm malfunction) — including outside standard hours when needed

About you

• 3+ years Hands-on experience installing/maintaining physical technology (network hardware, alarm systems, access control, locks) — not just IT helpdesk background
• Valid driver's license
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively, including short-notice trips (80%+)
• Proven ability to work independently and make judgment calls without daily supervision
• Fluent in German and working proficiency in English
