Welcome to the Tech Ops orientation page. We are always looking for talented people to take leadership roles in the group. There is plenty to do for both technical and non-tech people. Working with Tech Ops is also a fantastic way to learn about a wide variety of tech tools and gain valuable skills. Plus, it's really fun.
