Hands-on Technical Aptitude: Comfortable working inside network closets, handling physical network cabling (Cat5e/6), and standard telecom hardware.
Strong Communication: Exceptional interpersonal skills to interface directly and professionally with clinical staff, combined with the ability to relay technical details clearly to remote senior engineers.
Problem-Solving: A resourceful, autonomous mindset with the ability to follow technical documentation and execute remote instructions during critical troubleshooting windows.
