LINX is hiring a Low Voltage Quality and Training Specialist to own QA/QC for fiber and copper cabling installations on hyperscale data center projects, paying $25.00 to $40.00 an hour. You'll inspect completed work against BICSI and TIA/EIA standards, catch and correct problems before they become the customer's problem and train the crews doing the installing.


This is a hands-on quality role, not a desk audit job. Daily activities include: job-site inspections, pre- and post-installation quality checks, and direct crew supervision and mentoring on structured cabling best practices.


Where This Role Fits at LINX

Technician / Lead Technician → Quality and Training Specialist → Senior Quality and Training Specialist → Quality and Training Manager → Director of Quality and Training


What You'll Be Doing

QA/QC Inspection & Verification

  • Conduct QA/QC inspections of network cabling projects to ensure compliance with industry standards, safety regulations, and customer requirements
  • Perform job site inspections, report findings, and verify project scopes, including materials, equipment, and labor
  • Conduct pre- and post-installation quality checks to validate cable connections, terminations, and overall system functionality, identifying and resolving defects or deficiencies


Crew Supervision & Corrective Action

  • Supervise and guide cabling crews, ensuring efficiency and high-quality workmanship
  • Collaborate with project managers to address deviations and recommend corrective actions


Quality Systems & Documentation

  • Develop and implement quality control procedures, guidelines, and checklists; maintain detailed documentation of inspections and project progress


Training & Mentorship

  • Train and mentor junior QC personnel to enhance skills and knowledge


Client & Stakeholder Communication

  • Communicate with clients and stakeholders on quality concerns and project updates
  • Participate in project meetings and stay current with industry best practices, standards, and emerging technologies


Minimum Requirements

  • 3-5 years of experience in network cabling, including fiber and copper installations
  • Strong knowledge of industry standards (TIA/EIA, BICSI) and quality assurance processes
  • Proficiency with cable testing tools, including Fluke DSX-600/8000 cable certifiers
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work in various conditions, including confined spaces and heights
  • Ability to lift, carry, and set up a 50-pound box or ladder
  • Must own a complete set of personal low voltage hand tools (snips, strippers, screwdrivers, wrenches)
  • Available to work 2nd or 3rd shift, overtime, and under deadline pressure
  • Available for 100% travel to project sites nationwide (all travel expenses covered)
  • Must pass a 7-year criminal background check, pre-employment drug screen, and physical
  • Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and current auto insurance
  • Professional working proficiency in English, written and verbal


This Role Is Probably Not Right For You If

  • You've never done hands-on fiber or copper cabling installation, this isn't an entry point for classroom trainers or office-based QA/compliance staff without field experience
  • You'd rather keep installing than start inspecting, correcting, and teaching other people's work
  • You're not comfortable pointing out a mistake to the same crew you work alongside every day
  • You're not comfortable being on the road constantly — this is a 100% travel position with typical trips home about once a month while a project is active


Preferred

  • BICSI Technician or Installer certification, Copper or Optical Fiber
  • OSHA 10
  • Powder Actuated Tools Certification
  • Confined Space Certification
  • CPR and First Aid certification
  • Manufacturer certifications for installation and maintenance (Fluke, Fujikura, Sumitomo, Corning, Hilti)
  • Lift Certified
  • High school diploma, Associate's degree, or technical degree a plus
  • Professional working proficiency in Spanish, verbal


Compensation & Benefits

Pay Rate: $25.00 - $40.00/hour, depending on experience

Benefits:

  • 401(k) with 50% employer match on the first 5% contributed
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance with FSA and HSA options
  • Short and long-term disability coverage
  • 3 weeks PTO (vacation and sick combined)
  • 8 paid holidays
  • Manufacturer training and certification support
  • Meals & Incidental Per Diem paid for all travel
  • All travel expenses covered
  • Structured advancement path into Senior Quality and Training Specialist and Quality and Training Manager
