Who We Are Tech Remove gives old technology a second life. Every day, we receive computers, laptops, stereo equipment, speakers, receivers, amplifiers, TVs, video equipment, and other electronics from businesses, schools, organizations, and community recycling events. Some equipment can be tested and resold. Some can be repaired or used for parts. Some is responsibly recycled. We're looking for dependable, hands-on people who enjoy working with technology, like figuring out how things work, and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. You don't need to recognize every piece of equipment that comes through the door—but you should be curious enough to figure out what it is, how to test it, and whether it still has value. Before interviewing with us, we encourage you to visit the Tech Remove website and learn a little about who we are, what we do, and the communities and organizations we serve. What You'll Do Every day is different, but you may: Identify, test, and evaluate a wide variety of consumer electronics, audio/video equipment, and computers. Research unfamiliar equipment online to determine what it is, how it should be tested, and its potential resale value. Test equipment such as receivers, amplifiers, speakers, VCRs, DVD/Blu-ray players, CD and cassette decks, recording equipment, Bluetooth devices, iPods, computers, and other electronics. Record model numbers, serial numbers, condition, testing results, and other important information accurately. Enter, update, label, stock, and organize equipment in our inventory system. Sort equipment for resale, additional testing, parts recovery, or responsible recycling. Clean and prepare tested electronics for resale. Help maintain organized testing areas, inventory, shelving, and warehouse locations. Assist with computer testing and basic hardware evaluation as needed. Move equipment and help load and unload trucks when needed. Occasionally support community electronics recycling events. You won't be expected to know how to test every piece of equipment on your first day. We'll train you on our processes, but we'll also expect you to research, ask good questions, follow instructions, and learn as you go. What We're Looking For You don't need to be an electronics repair expert—and we're not looking for a bench technician who spends the day soldering components or replacing circuit boards. We're looking for someone who is comfortable around technology, curious about how things work, and good at figuring things out. You might be a great fit if you have experience with things like: Setting up stereos, home theater systems, speakers, computers, gaming systems, or other electronics. Connecting equipment and understanding basic inputs, outputs, cables, and signal paths. Testing used electronics to determine whether their major functions work. Identifying unfamiliar equipment by manufacturer and model number and researching it online. Finding manuals, specifications, compatibility information, and other technical information on the Internet. Researching used equipment and comparing actual market values—not simply the first asking price you find online. Buying, selling, collecting, or working with used electronics, computers, audio/video equipment, or technology. Working with inventory, stocking, labeling, warehousing, resale, e-commerce, or product cataloging. Building, upgrading, or testing computers and computer hardware. Learning unfamiliar equipment by reading, researching, experimenting, and following a logical testing process. Maybe you've worked in electronics retail, a warehouse, an IT department, a resale business, a music store, a pawn shop, e-commerce, or the military. Maybe you're simply the person friends and family call when they can't figure out how to hook something up. We care less about whether you already know every piece of equipment and more about what you do when you encounter something you don't know. If your instinct is to find the model number, research it, locate the right manual or information, connect it correctly, test it logically, document what you found, and move on to the next item, we'd like to hear from you. Schedule & Location Location Tech Remove, LLC 5661 Natural Bridge Avenue St. Louis, MO 63120 Conveniently located near I-70 and on the MetroBus line. Schedule Monday-Friday 9:00 AM-5:00 PM Occasional Saturday community recycling events and overtime as needed. Work Environment This is an active, hands-on warehouse position—not a desk job or traditional electronics repair bench. Most of your time will be spent indoors testing electronics and computers, researching equipment, recording results, managing inventory, stocking shelves, and organizing equipment. You'll regularly be on your feet and moving between testing, inventory, and warehouse areas throughout the day. From time to time, you'll also help load or unload box trucks and support community electronics recycling events. Those activities may take place outdoors in summer heat, winter cold, and changing weather conditions. You should be comfortable lifting and moving electronics, working safely around warehouse equipment, and pitching in wherever needed to keep material moving through the operation.

Drug Test and Background Investigation. Can you pass a drug test and background Investigation? Attendance/Scheduling. We start at 9AM every day. Can you be here on time and are you willing to spend a few Saturdays a month supporting e-Waste Recycling Events? Testing Thoroughness & Documentation You are testing an A/V receiver with several selectable inputs such as TV, CD, DVD, AUX, and Audio. On the DVD input, the receiver passes video correctly, but no audio is heard. Other inputs appear to work normally. How would you verify whether the problem is with the receiver, the source device, the cable, or the setup? Once you confirm that the DVD input passes video but not audio, how would you document the condition so another employee—and ultimately the customer—clearly understands exactly what was tested, what works, and what does not? Please answer in 3-5 sentences. We're looking for careful testing and precise documentation—not simply marking the receiver as "working" or "bad." You receive a

recorder. Both power on, but neither has been tested. How would your testing procedure differ between these two machines? What media, connections, and basic record/playback functions would you want to verify before marking either unit as working? Tell us about a time you ran into a problem at work, school, or on a personal project that you couldn't solve right away. How did you work through the problem, what resources or information did you use, and what was the outcome? Please answer in 2-4 sentences. We're more interested in how you approached the problem than how complicated the problem was. Tell us about a time you had to set up, connect, troubleshoot, or figure out a piece of electronics—maybe a stereo receiver, speakers, television, home theater system, video game console, computer, record player, or something similar. What were you trying to accomplish, what problem did you encounter, and how did you figure out what to connect, change, or troubleshoot? Please answer in 2-4 sentences. We're interested in your hands-on experience and how you approach unfamiliar technology—not whether you've worked as a professional repair technician. Your supervisor asks you to pause electronics testing and help stock tested material because inventory is getting backed up. While you're stocking items according to the company's SOP, the computer or inventory system you're using suddenly stops working. What would you do with the items already in process, and how would you make sure you continue following the SOP without losing track of inventory, skipping required steps, or creating inaccurate records? When would you stop and ask a supervisor for direction? Please answer in 3-5 sentences. We're looking for your ability to follow established procedures, protect inventory accuracy, communicate problems, and avoid making up your own process when something unexpected happens.
