About The Position

CBRE is recruiting candidates for Meta’s sponsored America’s Workforce Academy Fiber Technician Pathway, a four-week, full-time paid training program at purpose-built training locations in Columbus or Indianapolis. Training prepares participants to install fiber optic cabling and related infrastructure at a Meta data center. Travel expenses are covered, and participants receive a daily per diem during training. Non-local participants receive company-paid housing, travel, and food for the duration of the program; local participants may commute daily. After successful completion, graduates transition into a permanent, full-time Fiber Installer role at a Meta data center. No prior experience is required, as the skills needed for the role are taught during the training program.

The training and subsequent role involve installing, testing, terminating, labeling, and documenting fiber optic cabling; pulling low-voltage cables through conduits, ceilings, and pathways; interpreting floor plans, port maps, and telecom drawings; installing cable support and grounding infrastructure; and patching, labeling, and barcoding network equipment. The work is hands-on and physical, and requires safe, precise, and reliable performance.

Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship now or in the future. Candidates must complete a 10-panel drug screening, including THC testing, a physical assessment, and a criminal background check. Reliable transportation to job sites is required after training. CBRE does not use AI to make hiring decisions and asks candidates to disclose any AI use during the application or interview process.
