Ready to take your cabling skills into one of the fastest-growing environments in the industry?

We're hiring entry level Cable Technicians to support a massive ISP/OSP ramp-up for a brand-new hyperscale data center build.

If you have strong hands-on experience - this is where you thrive.

What You'll Be Doing (Onsite Responsibilities)

You'll be part of a high-performing field team completing end-to-end cabling work inside a large data center environment:

Fiber & Copper Installation

  • Pull high volumes of fiber in data hall and riser environments
  • Perform fiber and copper terminations (Cat5/Cat6, LC, SC, etc.)
  • Set up, dress, and manage cable pathways with clean, consistent workmanship

Testing & Quality Assurance

  • Use Fluke testers (fiber & copper)
  • Verify labeling, patch panel labeling, termination accuracy, and cable dressing
  • Troubleshoot opens, shorts, miswires, and link failures

Infrastructure Build-Out

  • Install J-hooks, ladder rack, cable tray, fiber runner, and support structures
  • Ground and bond equipment as required
  • Assist with rack & stack, equipment mounting, and pathway installation

Teamwork & Leadership on Site

  • Work both independently and with a structured crew
  • Communicate with supervisors and escalate when needed
  • Help keep pace with project timelines and ensure safe work practices
  • Contribute to a positive team environment, especially in a hot, high-volume data center setting

What You'll Learn

We're looking for techs who can handle the intensity of a hyperscale build and deliver clean work.

  • Cat5/Cat6 install & crimping
  • Basic troubleshooting
  • Experience in live data centers
  • Understanding of QA best practices

Work Environment

This is a high-energy, high-output construction-style data center environment:

  • Indoor & outdoor work
  • New build data center - hot, no AC, lots of walking
  • Ladder & lift work (heights involved)
  • Hauling materials long distances

Why This Role Matters

With massive ISP/OSP expansion underway, skilled technicians are needed to keep the project on track and ensure all fiber/copper systems are installed safely, correctly, and efficiently.

Your work directly impacts how fast this new hyperscale data center goes live.

  • Must bring standard hand tools
  • Ability to lift 50 lbs
