Cabling Associate

Position Overview 

As a Data Center Cabling Associate, you will support large-scale cabling installations for major AI and hyperscale data centers across the U.S. This hybrid role blends field leadership with hands-on work, ideal for someone who has grown beyond a Foreman role but is not yet a full Superintendent. 

You’ll assist the Superintendent with planning, standards enforcement, and on-site execution while working directly with technicians, contractors, and vendors. This role is heavily field-facing and requires strong technical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to help keep teams aligned with project timelines and quality expectations. 

• This is a full-time salaried role offering $80,000-$100,000, full benefits, project bonuses, paid travel, and advanced training. 
• This role is open in all hiring-authorized U.S. states (AZ, VA, NJ, NY, and TX).
• This position requires 75% travel to project sites nationwide, including AI build locations. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Support structured cabling installations in new data center white space and help coordinate daily work for cabling crews under the Superintendent. 
• Perform on-site QA checks for fiber/copper terminations, labeling, routing, and test results while reinforcing jobsite safety. 
• Assist with cabling standards, tracking sheets, patch schedules, port maps, and drawing reviews to ensure work meets TIA/BICSI specifications. 
• Communicate field progress, schedule risks, and material needs to project leadership. 
• Support documentation, RFIs, change orders, daily reports, and QA/QC corrective actions. 

Required Qualifications 

• 2-4 years experience in structured cabling, low-voltage, or fiber optic systems (data center or mission-critical preferred). 
• Experience leading small cabling crews (foreman or lead technician level). 
• Ability to read cabling drawings, rack elevations, and labeling standards. 
• Experience using fiber testing tools (OLTS, OTDR, VFL). 
• Strong Excel skills for port mapping, tracking, and documentation. 
• Comfortable working in live data center environments with fast-paced schedules. 
• Willingness to travel 50-70% and work extended hours during active builds 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Experience supporting data center cabling deployments. 
• Understanding of racks, containment systems, and cable pathways. 
• Familiarity with TIA/EIA or BICSI standards. 
• Certifications such as BICSI Technician or Installer II.
