As the Data Center Cabling Superintendent, you will lead and manage large, cabling installations for major AI and hyperscale data centers across the U.S. You'll oversee all aspects of low-voltage cabling, from planning and standards to field execution, and make sure everything is installed safely, correctly, and on schedule.

You'll manage field teams (typically 50-100 technicians and contractors), coordinate with vendors, and travel frequently to active project sites.
  • This is a full-time salaried role offering $90,000-$125,000, full benefits, project bonuses, paid travel, and advanced training.
  • This position requires 75% travel to project sites nationwide, including AI build locations.

Key Responsibilities
  • Review and oversee installation of cabling and support systems in new data center white space.
  • Set and maintain cabling standards (fiber and copper) for multiple projects.
  • Build and manage cabling tracking sheets (pull patch schedules)
  • Supervise and coordinate subcontractors and internal crews to keep projects on schedule.
  • Perform on-site quality checks - verifying terminations, labeling, routing, and test results.
  • Monitor project progress and timelines; communicate changes and updates to leadership and clients.
  • Manage documentation including submittals, RFIs, change orders, and invoicing.
  • Enforce safety rules and lead daily toolbox talks with field teams.
  • Report daily field progress and any issues impacting schedules or budgets.

Required Qualifications
  • 3+ years of experience in structured cabling, low-voltage, or fiber optic systems - ideally in large data centers or mission-critical environments.
  • Proven experience managing field cabling crews.
  • Ability to read and understand cabling design drawings and specifications.
  • Knowledge of labeling standards and cabling best practices.
  • Strong Excel skills (data vetting, port mapping, tracking, pivots/macros).
  • Excellent organization and communication skills.
  • Comfortable working in active, live data center environments.
  • Able to handle fast-paced, high-pressure project timelines.
  • Willing to travel 75% of the time to project sites (8-12 hour days during builds).
  • Hands-on troubleshooting skills using OLTS, OTDR, VFL, and similar testing tools.
  • Experience leading 25-50+ technicians across multiple sites.
  • Knowledge of safety compliance, field documentation, and reporting.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent field experience.
  • Experience with cabling systems for AI or HPC workloads (Spine-Leaf topology, InfiniBand, etc.).
  • Strong understanding of racks, containment, and pathway systems.
  • Familiar with TIA/EIA and BICSI standards and building codes.
  • Experience working with owner's reps, vendors, and major manufacturers.
  • Certifications like BICSI, RCDD, or TIA are a plus.
  • Experience managing bids, RFIs, RFPs, change orders, and QA/QC documentation.
  • Advanced troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for cabling issues.

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.
