Data Center Manager- Structured cabling

About the role

We are seeking a highly skilled Structured Cabling Design - DC manager to architect and oversee the physical layer infrastructure for our large-scale global delivery operations. In this role, you will design robust, scalable, and high-density fiber and copper network pathways that form the backbone of modern hyperscale data centers. You will work closely with cross-functional facility and network engineering teams to ensure that all cabling designs integrate seamlessly with complex mechanical systems, operating continuously without spatial or thermal conflicts.

Responsibilities

• Design & Engineering: Architect end-to-end structured cabling systems (Single-mode/Multimode fiber, MPO/MTP high-density trunks, and Cat6/Cat6A copper) tailored for hyperscale and colocation environments.
• Develop comprehensive construction documents, including floor plans, rack elevations, pathway layouts, and detailed splicing diagrams using AutoCAD, Revit, or Bluebeam.
• Calculate fill ratios, weight loads, and bend radii for overhead and under-floor cable tray systems.
• Cross-Functional Integration: Coordinate directly with MEP teams to ensure cable routing does not interfere with advanced thermal management systems, including data center liquid cooling infrastructure and temporary fabric containment structures.
• Partner with network architects to align physical layer designs with logical network topologies and future capacity scaling requirements.
• Documentation & Quality Assurance: Generate highly accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs), Scopes of Work (SOWs), and project estimates for procurement and deployment teams.
• Review and approve contractor submittals, RFIs, and red-lined as-built drawings to ensure field execution matches the original design intent.
• Ensure all designs strictly adhere to industry standards (TIA/EIA, BICSI, IEEE, NEC, and NFPA) as well as proprietary hyperscaler deployment standards.

Requirements

• Active BICSI RCDD (Registered Communications Distribution Designer) certification is strictly required.
• 5+ years of dedicated experience in structured cabling design, with a minimum of 2 years focused specifically on hyperscale, enterprise data center, or telecom environments.
• Proven track record of managing physical layer design for large-scale global delivery projects.
• Advanced proficiency in drafting software (AutoCAD, Revit) and estimating/markup tools (Bluebeam Revu).
• Deep understanding of optical loss budgets, fiber characterization, and high-density interconnect architectures (e.g., spine-and-leaf).
• Strong working knowledge of data center mechanical environments, hot/cold aisle containment, and how physical cabling impacts HVAC airflow efficiency.

Qualifications

• Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent design phases across different geographic regions.
• Prior experience working directly as a vendor or partner for major hyperscalers (e.g., AWS, Microsoft, Google, Meta).
• Additional certifications such as BICSI DCDC (Data Center Design Consultant) or CDCP (Certified Data Centre Professional).
