Here is a role that gets overlooked because it is not a flashy office job: PalmPay’s POS Repair Technician. With millions of POS terminals in use across Nigeria’s agent-banking network, someone has to keep the hardware working, and that someone is in steady demand.
What you would be doing
The short version: diagnosing and fixing faulty POS machines. That covers checking why a terminal will not power on, print, or connect, swapping failed components, running tests after a repair, and keeping clear records of what came in and what went back out. It is hands-on, practical work for people who actually like opening things up to see what went wrong.
Who fits
- An OND or HND in electrical/electronic engineering, computer engineering, or a related field.
- Genuine hands-on repair experience, POS terminals, phones, or similar electronics.
- Basic understanding of how card and payment hardware talks to a network.
- Patience and a methodical approach, because rushing repairs creates repeat faults.
How to apply
Use PalmPay’s official recruitment portal at palmpaylimited.applytojob.com. Search for the POS Repair Technician opening in your location and submit a CV that lists the specific equipment you have worked on. Concrete detail beats vague claims here; if you have repaired a particular terminal model, say so.
A quick caution
No genuine employer asks you to pay for a technical job or a “toolkit deposit.” PalmPay recruits for free. If anyone requests payment, step back and read our rundown of fake recruitment scams in Nigeria first.

Skills that get you hired
For a repair role, proof beats promises. Employers want to see that you can actually diagnose and fix hardware, so think about the terminals, phones, printers or circuit boards you have worked on and be ready to describe real faults you solved. Comfort with a multimeter, soldering, and basic component-level repair goes a long way. So does knowing how a POS terminal connects to a network, because many faults are about connectivity, not merely broken parts. Keeping clean records of each repair, what came in and what went out, also marks you as someone an employer can trust with their stock.
How to prepare your application
List the exact equipment and fault types you have handled, not simply a pile of tools you own. If you trained formally, name the qualification. If you learned on the job or in a workshop, say that plainly and describe what you fixed and how long it typically took you. Concrete detail reassures an employer that you will not turn one fault into three.
Where this role can lead
Repair work is a solid entry point into Nigeria’s fast-growing payments industry. Do it well and you build a reputation for reliable turnaround, which can open the door to supervising a service centre, moving into field support, or specialising in a particular class of hardware. The agent-banking network keeps expanding, and dependable technicians stay in demand. Reliable hands are hard to find, and that is exactly what keeps you employed.
A few common questions
Do I need a formal qualification? An OND or HND in a relevant field helps, but demonstrable repair skill carries weight too, so show exactly what you have fixed.
Is it office-based? It is mostly a workshop or service-centre role, and some positions are tied to a specific location or region.
What should my CV emphasise? The exact equipment and fault types you have handled, plus your typical turnaround, not merely a list of tools you own.
