Linux & custom-build specialist
Gaming PC builds and upgrades, thermals and stability, and Linux for people who want machines that last: installs, dual boots, small servers, and rescuing setups that look beyond saving.
The day
What the work actually is.
Builds and rebuilds: gaming machines specced honestly for what the buyer actually plays, upgrades that chase a real bottleneck, not a shopping list, thermals and stability work. Then the Linux side: installs, dual boots, small home servers, and rescuing setups whose owners were told to just reinstall.
You will also, regularly, be the person who says the graphics card is fine, the power supply is the problem, and saves someone a great deal of money. That sentence is the brand.
What you bring
You.
Genuine fluency at the command line and in the parts market. You can defend a component choice with reasons, diagnose instability methodically instead of swapping parts by superstition, and translate all of it for a customer who just wants the machine to work.
In one line: Opinionated about parts and airflow, fluent at the command line, and able to explain a choice without the jargon.
What we put in writing
The terms, before you commit.
Pay is stated plainly in your first conversation with us, before any interviews. The hiring itself is five steps with nothing hidden: a person reads every application and you get an answer either way, the practical is real faults on a real bench, and if it is a yes, everything we agreed goes in writing before you commit to anything. Professional development is continual and treated as part of the job.
The standard
Four rules. Nobody here is exempt.
- Find the fault before you quote. The diagnosis is the hard part, not the fix. Nobody here guesses at a price, and nobody swaps parts until the fault goes away.
- One fixed quote, kept. The customer is told what it costs before anything is opened, and the price does not move if the job takes longer than expected. That risk is ours to carry, not theirs.
- Never sell what is not needed. Nobody earns commission on parts, chases targets or works from a script, so there is nothing to upsell. Telling someone not to spend their money is part of the job.
- Treat their data as you would your own. Open only what the repair needs, copy nothing without a separate yes, and erase any copy within 30 days of the device going back.
How we hire
Five steps, nothing hidden.
- Apply
Use the form, or email careers@jortech.co.uk with your CV attached. PDF or Word are both fine. One true story about a job beats a page of skills.
- A person reads it
Every application is read by a person, and every applicant gets an answer either way. Being ignored is the norm in hiring. It will not happen here.
- The first conversation
A real conversation about real work. We tell you the pay in it, plainly, before any interviews.
- The bench
A practical with real faults on real machines, not brainteasers. We care how you think, what you check first, and how you say the words “I do not know yet”.
- An offer in writing
If it is a yes, everything we agreed goes in writing before you commit to anything. The same rule our customers get.
