Job Summary

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.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

Pathway & Rack Buildouts (Rough-In)

• 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

Cable Deployment & High-Density Termination

• 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

Testing, Labeling, & Commissioning

• 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

Core Evaluation Metrics (Success Criteria)

• Craftsmanship Quality: Minimal to zero failures on post-installation Fluke/OTDR test sweeps; cables must be bundled cleanly with uniform tension
• Labeling Accuracy: 100% data entry accuracy across cable management tracking records and physical asset labels
• Pace & Project Execution: Consistently hit targeted linear footage metrics for cable pulls and termination counts per shift to keep capital deployment timelines on schedule

Safety Duties & Responsibilities

• Adhere to, promote, and accept personal responsibility for compliance to Federal and Local Occupational Safety and Health Regulations, Industry Consensus Standards, and Circet USA Injury and Illness Prevention Program Manual
• Participate in job site safety/hazard analysis

Qualifications

• High School Diploma or equivalent required
• Vocational or technical program completion in telecommunications or electricity is a plus
• 1–3 years of commercial low voltage installation, structured cabling, or telecommunications field experience required (Data center, ISP central office, or commercial construction environment highly preferred)

Certifications (Highly Valued)

• BICSI Installer 1 or Installer 2 (Copper/Fiber)
• OSHA 10 Construction Certification
• Lift Certification (Scissor/Boom)

Skills & Knowledge

• 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
