Job description
Noon Academy is hiring an IT Operations Engineer (Procurement & Hardware Deployment) in Riyadh to build and run the technology that powers next-generation schools. The role leads end-to-end procurement of IT equipment—TVs, tablets, speakers, cameras, microphones, and Windows TVs—negotiates contracts to secure best pricing, and maintains vendor relationships. It implements rigorous inventory governance by tagging and maintaining detailed serial→room→campus mappings, managing warehouse operations, ensuring accurate and auditable stock levels, and overseeing delivery logistics of IT assets to schools. The position supports on-site hardware setup: installing cameras, microphones, speakers, and Windows TVs; ensuring TVs run the latest Windows OS and Chrome; and coordinating with Facilities and Delivery to establish temporary labs for special sessions (e.g., GenAI for MCIT) by preparing TV/speaker/camera setups and initializing/updating tablets with the latest Noon apps and logins. After each lab or event, the engineer ensures all hardware is collected, logged, and returned to inventory. The role requires strong organization and documentation discipline, familiarity with tagging and inventory tools, and the ability to coordinate deployments across multiple campuses and teams within a fast-paced, mission-driven EdTech environment focused on scaling world-class teaching and reinventing school experiences in Saudi Arabia.
