  • Take clear photos of non-compliant work and provide before/after records when issues are corrected.
  • Maintain logs of inspected zones, bundle groups, and cable types for handoff to project stakeholders.
  • Work directly with cabling technicians and leads to provide immediate feedback on issues.
  • Escalate repeated errors, labeling inconsistencies, or deviations from project documentation.
  • Participate in team huddles or walk-throughs to explain QC expectations and results.

 

Requirements: 

  • 1 years experience in a structured cabling, low-voltage QA/QC, or data center infrastructure environment.
  • OSHA 10/30 certification 
  • Strong knowledge of fiber cabling (especially MPO breakout types) and Cat6 standards.
  • Familiarity with ANSI/TIA-568 labeling practices and project-specific labeling conventions.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills – must be able to clearly document issues and collaborate with field teams.
  • High attention to detail and a commitment to documentation accuracy.
  • Able to read and interpret rack elevations, patch schedules, and cable matrices.
  • Ability to lift and carry boxes up to 40lbs.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • BICSI certification or formal low-voltage QA/QC training.
  • Experience in hyperscale or enterprise-level data center deployments.
