The intern will be based at the ISEAS IT office to assist with the asset management process in Information Technology (IT) Division. The aim is to ensure decommissioned assets are being disposed of with proper documentation in place.

ISEAS IT Infrastructure unit is managing assets such as notebooks, external monitors, printers, network switches and servers. Many assets have been decommissioned and are due to be disposed. The team needs to work with the Fixed Asset (FA) team from Corporate Services Division to dispose of these assets. Before disposal takes place, the team is required to accurately record the necessary details of the asset and seek approval from upper management, including the FA team.

The team is also required to separate or disassemble external storage drives from assets such as desktops and notebooks. External storage drives need to be degaussed in accordance with the IT Policies and Procedures. The FA team will engage external vendors to dispose of the assets and degauss the storage drives. IT Infrastructure unit will require a representative to facilitate the disposal process.

Aside from being involved with asset disposal, there may be opportunities to assist the team with other infrastructure-related tasks.
