About The Position
As the Data Center Cabling Project Manager, you will lead and manage large, cabling installations for major AI and hyperscale data centers across the U.S. You’ll oversee all aspects of low-voltage cabling, from planning and standards to field execution, and make sure everything is installed safely, correctly, and on schedule.

This position requires 75% travel to project sites nationwide, including AI build locations.
