QA/QC Technician - Data Center (Structured Cabling)

Data Center Environment | Contract | Long-Term Project Opportunity
We are seeking a detail-driven QA/QC Technician to support large-scale data center telecom and structured cabling projects. This role is strictly focused on quality assurance and quality control auditing-verifying completed work meets required standards, documenting findings, and helping ensure projects are delivered with minimal rework.
This position is ideal for someone who understands structured cabling and data center environments and prefers to inspect, audit, and validate work, rather than perform daily installations.

Role Overview

The QA/QC Technician works behind installation teams to inspect completed telecom infrastructure and ensure compliance with industry standards, manufacturer specifications, and project requirements. You will evaluate workmanship, testing, labeling, dressing, and overall readiness of installed systems.
Success in this role requires an auditor's mindset, strong documentation skills, and the confidence to communicate findings clearly and professionally on active job sites.

Key Responsibilities

Quality Audits & Inspections

• Conduct daily QA/QC inspections at assigned data center sites
• Audit completed fiber and copper cabling installations, telecom equipment, and rack layouts
• Verify compliance with applicable standards (BICSI, TIA, OEM specifications, and data center best practices)
• Identify non-conformities, risks, and areas for improvement using inspection checklists
• Confirm proper testing, cable dressing, labeling, and overall system functionality

Documentation & Reporting

• Accurately document inspection results, deficiencies, and corrective actions
• Maintain organized records of inspections, findings, and follow-ups
• Deliver clear, professional reports to site leadership and project stakeholders

Corrective Actions & Collaboration

• Communicate deviations from quality standards to supervisors and project leadership
• Provide recommendations to improve quality, consistency, and efficiency
• Support quality training efforts when requested

Continuous Improvement

• Stay current with industry codes, installation standards, and internal quality practices
• Adjust inspection and audit methods as standards and project requirements evolve

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in structured cabling or telecom infrastructure
• Strong understanding of data center cabling environments
• Knowledge of fiber optic and copper cabling concepts, rack layouts, and cable management
• Familiarity with industry and manufacturer standards (BICSI, TIA, OEM specs)
• Quality-focused mindset with strong attention to detail
• Comfortable working independently and managing daily inspection tasks
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Professional demeanor when interacting with installers, supervisors, and clients

Preferred (Nice to Have)

• Fiber optic cable testing or inspection experience
• Technical support or OSP exposure
• Learning Management System (LMS) experience
• Ability to support installation teams during downtime, if required

Ideal Profile

This role is best suited for someone who:

• Thinks like an auditor, not just an installer
• Knows what "right" looks like in a data center environment
• Can critically assess work and identify potential risks before issues escalate
• Is comfortable documenting issues clearly-even when it means pushing back

Installation experience is valuable, but the primary focus of this role is inspection, verification, and documentation.

Work Environment & Schedule

• Data Center sites
• Monday-Friday
• 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM, approximately 50 hours/week
• Schedule currently aligns with production demands and includes mandatory overtime
• Required PPE must be worn on site (safety boots required)

Why This Opportunity

• Work on active, high-volume data center projects
• Play a critical role in reducing rework and improving build quality
• Long-term project potential with opportunities to extend
• Environment that values professionalism, quality, and accountability

If you're a detail-oriented professional who understands structured cabling and prefers ensuring work is done right the first time, this QA/QC Technician role offers a impactful and stable opportunity.
Apply today to become part of a quality-focused data center team.
