Computer repair technicians usually work in store front shops, corporate information technology departments, government offices and hospitals among other places. These places tend to be well lit and climate controlled offices or store front work bench areas. Technicians may also be required to perform their repairs on-site in a number of different environments including industrial settings, commercial offices, or residences. Many experienced computer repair technicians may work freelance or as consultants and operate out of a home office and go on-site for their clients.
