You need to find out what product they are using for imaging like Symantec Ghost or something. It's hard to give advice if we don't know what tools you'll be using

Huh - it seems odd that you would be an engineer and not already know these things. Equally odd that you would be starting straight at level II and not level I.
@scottalanmiller is right - companies just slap any ol' name on a job these days.
OK now with all of that out of the way.
Thinks you should know:
Who to prepare a system for imagine
How to take images
How to deploy images
Use of scripting to rollout changes
For Windows, Group Policy management of desktops
For Windows MDT
For Windows WDS
DevOps tools are apparently becoming a thing for desktop deployments (Ansible, Chef, Salt)
Chocolately

ChocolatelyI'd be really surprised if he used those but it's not impossible.
@jimmynelson Do you know if they are even running Linux there in any capacity?

Interesting. I'll have to put that in my test environment at home.

These things have almost nothing to do with rollouts - what you specifically mentioned in your OP. Rollouts are more about deploying software/hardware to end users/end points.
These things are about user configuration, I guess I'd call it a gray area.
But what do you mean tell you about duties like? Are those the duties listed on the job posting? We can't really just give you a how to on anything you might encounter. We can only really answer specific questions.
