Data Center Technician

Job Description

This role requires 75% nationwide travel and 25% work within the home market.
We are assembling a Tiger Team of Level 2 Data Center Technicians to support the Hi-Fiber project for a major hyperscale customer. This initiative focuses on replacing legacy coax cabling with fiber infrastructure across multiple data center locations.
The team will be deployed as the first group on site at new locations, responsible for establishing processes, procedures, and best practices during the initial 6-8 weeks of each project. Once deployments are stabilized, the team will transition to additional sites to repeat the process. During downtime, technicians will support operations at data centers within their home market.
We are seeking experienced data center technicians who can contribute immediately and operate with minimal supervision. Long-term project execution will later be supported by Level 1 cable technicians.
