In Germany there are job positions called "Fachinformatiker Systemintegration".
Basically a trained technician integrating a new component into an existing environmemt.
This can range from a monitor and a pc to a new server, networking, etc.
Maybe something like a datacenter technician or something like that might suit you.

My job atm consists of going to customers onsite to troubleshoot systems or installing/replacing a (new) server but also helpdesk stuff (small company so even lv2 support might have to call) and responding to tickets about stuff not working as intended.
My mainreason for choosing that role was the field work (or at the company) and not being glued to my desk or other office desk job like a programmer.

That's interesting, thanks for that explanantion. I definitely feel like being glued to my desk is something I'd like to avoid.

Maybe I'll consider moving to Germany now, that could be a whole other adventure.

In case that sounds interesting maybe something like a (junior) sysadmin might suit you. I also heard about a difference with a local sysadmin.
Or something like a IT field technician, datacenter technician etc. etc.

In Germany we have the Agentur für Arbeit which is peobably the equivalent to the US labor department. Maybe try to find a similar state body in your local area and ask for guidance or take a look what IT jobs are offered for entry level folks :)

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask :)
