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.

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.
• Aid in 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 75% 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.
