Role Description

You are a hands-on data center technician who can lead a small field crew while staying close to the work. You know how to assign tasks, perform rack-and-stack and structured cabling activities, verify workmanship, and correct issues before they affect the customer or the next phase of deployment.

You bring a disciplined approach to safety, quality, documentation, and communication. You are comfortable working from rack elevations, cable schedules, port maps, drawings, runbooks, and field direction, and you take ownership of clear updates, open items, blockers, and next steps at the end of each shift.
