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

We’re hiring experienced 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 with cabling, terminatig, copper work, and Fluke testing — this is where you thrive.

🚀 What You’ll Be Doing (Onsite Responsibilities)

Testing & Quality Assurance

  • Use Fluke Versiv testers (fiber & copper)
  • Verify labeling, patch panel labeling, termination accuracy, and cable dressing

Infrastructure Build-Out

Teamwork & Leadership on Site

  • Communicate with supervisors and escalate when needed

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
  • Working in IDF rooms, risers, rooftops, and open data halls


Guaranteed 40 hours minimum per week

Overtime is optional , unless not enough volunteers step up.

🌟 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.
