Full Job Description
Position Overview

As a Data Center Cabling Associate, you will support large-scale cabling installations for major AI and hyperscale data centers across the U.S. This hybrid role blends field leadership with hands-on work, ideal for someone who has grown beyond a Foreman role but is not yet a full Superintendent.

You'll assist the Superintendent with planning, standards enforcement, and on-site execution while working directly with technicians, contractors, and vendors. This role is heavily field-facing and requires strong technical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to help keep teams aligned with project timelines and quality expectations.
  • This is a full-time salaried role offering $90,000-$100,000, full benefits, project bonuses, paid travel, and advanced training.
  • This role is open in all hiring-authorized U.S. states (AZ, VA, NJ, NY, and TX).
  • This position requires 50%-70% travel to project sites nationwide, including AI build locations.

Key Responsibilities
  • Support structured cabling installations in new data center white space and help coordinate daily work for cabling crews under the Superintendent.
  • Perform on-site QA checks for fiber/copper terminations, labeling, routing, and test results while reinforcing jobsite safety.
  • Assist with cabling standards, tracking sheets, patch schedules, port maps, and drawing reviews to ensure work meets TIA/BICSI specifications.
  • Communicate field progress, schedule risks, and material needs to project leadership.
  • Support documentation, RFIs, change orders, daily reports, and QA/QC corrective actions.

Required Qualifications
  • 2-4 years experience in structured cabling, low-voltage, or fiber optic systems (data center or mission-critical preferred).
  • Experience leading small cabling crews (foreman or lead technician level).
  • Ability to read cabling drawings, rack elevations, and labeling standards.
  • Experience using fiber testing tools (OLTS, OTDR, VFL).
  • Strong Excel skills for port mapping, tracking, and documentation.
  • Comfortable working in live data center environments with fast-paced schedules.
  • Willingness to travel 50-70% and work extended hours during active builds

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience supporting data center cabling deployments.
  • Understanding of racks, containment systems, and cable pathways.
  • Familiarity with TIA/EIA or BICSI standards.
  • Certifications such as BICSI Technician or Installer II.

To support a fair, consistent, and high-quality hiring experience, some interviews may be recorded. These recordings help our team focus fully on the conversation at hand, rather than note-taking, and allow us to better evaluate and improve our recruitment process. Recordings are used solely for internal purposes such as training, quality assurance, and process improvement. Candidates will be informed in advance and asked to provide consent before any recording takes place.
