Start your data center career in a hands-on role supporting the installation of servers, network equipment, cabling, and rack infrastructure. As a Data Center Technician I, you'll spend most of your time pulling, routing, labeling, and organizing copper and fiber cabling while also assisting with repeatable deployment tasks such as inventory scanning, component positioning, and basic rack preparation.
This is a great opportunity for someone with structured cabling experience who wants to build a strong foundation in data center operations. You'll follow clear procedures, learn from experienced technicians, and gain exposure to rack-and-stack work, power connections, airflow management, and advanced cooling systems. A positive attitude, attention to detail, and willingness to learn are just as important as your technical background.
