Data Center Technician

L2 Data Center Technician (Break/Fix + Installation) - Long-Term Opportunity

Location: Sparks, NV (Reno Metro Area)

A Career Move That Puts You at the Center of the Action - Right Here in Sparks, NV

Data centers don't run on autopilot. When something goes wrong, it's the people on the floor-hands on the equipment-who keep everything moving.
We're growing a Level 2 Data Center Technician team in Sparks, NV, supporting a large-scale, highly active data center environment with both new infrastructure buildouts and live production systems. This is a long-term opportunity for technicians who want stability, hands-on technical work, and room to grow, all within the Sparks / Reno, NV metro area.
If you're in a large metro market and looking for a role where your troubleshooting skills actually matter-this is it.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not a remote-hands or repetitive ticket-only job. It's a role for technicians who want to:

• Be trusted to diagnose and fix real problems
• Work directly on servers, cabling, and infrastructure
• Split time between break/fix troubleshooting and installation/deployment work
• Build long-term experience in a production data center environment in Sparks, NV

Whether you're already based in the Reno/Sparks area or relocating to the Sparks, NV metro, this role offers long-term consistency with technical depth.

What You'll Be Doing

As an L2 Data Center Technician in Sparks, NV, you'll be hands-on every day. Your work will include:

• Troubleshooting and isolating server issues in both production and build environments
• Performing true Level 2 break/fix diagnostics (root-cause analysis, not just swapping parts)
• Using Linux to help isolate logical and system-level server issues
• Ordering replacement parts, installing components, and managing hardware returns
• Performing firmware and BIOS updates to keep systems compliant and supported
• Configuring IP addresses and default credentials during staging and turn-ups
• Working closely with network teams on physical-layer support, including:
  • Replacing damaged or faulty cables
  • Re-routing cabling to correct ports
  • Swapping optics on server and switch ports
  • Supporting hardware upgrades
• Racking, stacking, and cabling servers or switches, including temporary setups to support remote configuration
• Supporting ongoing installation, deployment, and buildout efforts in Sparks, NV
• Assisting with Level 1 responsibilities when needed to keep operations running smoothly

Schedule & Shift Details

Training Period (First 4-6 Weeks):

• Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

• Wednesday-Saturday | 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM
• Wednesday-Saturday | 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM

What We're Looking For

This role is ideal for technicians with real hands-on experience who want long-term growth in the Sparks, NV data center market.
Required Qualifications:

• 2+ years of hands-on Data Center Technician experience
• Strong break/fix troubleshooting skills (beyond simple part replacement)
• Experience diagnosing and isolating server issues using Linux
• Hands-on rack & stack and server staging experience
• Solid wiring and cabling skills (Cat6/copper required)
• Comfortable working closely with network and infrastructure teams
• Ability to work a 4x10 schedule, including weekends
• Willingness to support both installation/deployment and day-to-day DC operations

Strong Plus:

• Ability to troubleshoot independently with minimal oversight
• Logical, methodical approach to hardware and system issues

Why Candidates Choose This Role

• Long-term stability in Sparks, NV
• Real technical responsibility-your troubleshooting skills matter
• Mix of deployment projects and operational support keeps work engaging
• Ideal for candidates in a large metro area seeking a hands-on, career-building role
