About The Position

The Data Center Low Voltage Installation Technician is responsible for the physical installation, termination, testing, and labeling of high-density structured cabling infrastructure within both data center environments and Internet Service Provider (ISP) network hubs. This role requires a high degree of craftsmanship, mechanical aptitude, and structural safety. Technicians will build out the physical containment pathways, rack architectures, and fiber/copper cable plants that form the backbone of our critical network infrastructure, working under strict timelines and design standards.

Requirements

High School Diploma or equivalent required.
1–3 years of commercial low voltage installation, structured cabling, or telecommunications field experience required.
Practical understanding of ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 color codes and structured cabling topologies.
Mastery of specialized trade tools: punch-down tools, wire strippers, RJ45 crimpers, fiber cleavers, and standard power tools (hammer drills, band saws).
Must be able to pass a level 2 background check and be cleared to work within the customer premise.
Ability to read, analyze and interpret common scientific and technical journals, financial reports and legal documents; ability to respond to common inquiries or complaints from customers, regulatory agencies or members of the business community; ability to effectively present information and respond to questions from Executive Management, public groups clients and/or customers.
Able to solve practical problems and deal with a variety of concrete variables in situations where only limited standardization exists; ability to interpret a variety of instructions furnished in written, oral, diagram or schedule form.

Nice To Haves

Vocational or technical program completion in telecommunications or electricity is a plus.
Data center, ISP central office, or commercial construction environment highly preferred.
BICSI Installer 1 or Installer 2 (Copper/Fiber)
OSHA 10 Construction Certification
Lift Certification (Scissor/Boom)

Responsibilities

Install, route, and secure overhead and under-floor cable pathways, including basket trays, ladder racks, and specialized yellow fiber runner systems.
Assemble, mount, level, and anchor server racks, network enclosures, and structural enclosures—including seismic bracing where required.
Properly ground all racks, ladders, and containment systems to the main facility grounding busbar in compliance with ANSI/TIA-607.
Pull backbone and horizontal copper (Cat6A) and fiber optic cabling (Single-mode/Multi-mode) through active pathways without violating minimum bend radius constraints.
Terminate high-density data connections, including copper jacks, patch panels, 110-blocks, and diverse fiber optic connectors (LC, SC, MPO/MTP).
Dress, bundle, and comb cables cleanly into network closets and rack elevations using hook-and-loop fasteners (Velcro)—ensuring optimized airflow and zero structural strain on connectors.
Operate and configure advanced copper and fiber testing equipment (e.g., Fluke DSX-8000, OTDR, optical power meters) to certify link performance and diagnose attenuation issues.
Apply strict, clear alphanumeric sequencing and color-code labels to all cables, faceplates, patch panels, and ports according to ANSI/TIA-606 standards.
Assist with the basic physical installation (rack-and-stack) of passive patch panels, network switches, and peripheral hardware components.
Adhere to, promote, and accept personal responsibility for compliance to: Federal and Local Occupational Safety and Health Regulations, Industry Consensus Standards, Circet USA Injury and Illness Prevention Program Manual.
Participate in job site safety/hazard analysis.
