About the role

Do you enjoy solving technical challenges, coordinating complex infrastructure systems, and helping transform design intent into real-world execution? We’re looking for a detail-oriented and collaborative Division 27 Engineer to support the planning, coordination, and delivery of structured cabling and low-voltage infrastructure systems across complex construction projects. In this role, you’ll work closely with subcontractors, BIM/VDC teams, suppliers, field leadership, and design partners to ensure Division 27 systems are fully coordinated, constructable, and ready for field execution. You’ll play a key role during design/assist and design-build phases by helping develop field-ready work packages that align with installation sequencing, room readiness, procurement timelines, and project delivery requirements. From pathways and backbone infrastructure to racks, cabinets, and low-voltage support systems, you’ll help bridge the gap between design and construction while supporting successful execution from preconstruction through turnover.

What You’ll Do

  • Coordinate with Clarity. Execute with Confidence.
    • Review structured cabling and low-voltage infrastructure scope with subcontractors to validate pathways, room layouts, rack elevations, cabinet requirements, and installation assumptions.
    • Aid in converting design intent into coordinated, field-executable work packages aligned with sequencing and construction realities.
    • Closely coordinate with BIM/VDC, technical leads, procurement teams, and field leadership to ensure installation plans align with project schedules and execution strategies.
    • Proactively identify design omissions, interface conflicts, scope gaps, and constructability concerns before release to the field.
    • Participate in coordination efforts that validate constructability, scope completeness, and execution readiness across evolving project designs.
    • Aid with RFIs, submittals, revisions, and technical documentation to maintain alignment between design requirements and field conditions.
    • Collaborate with suppliers and procurement teams to ensure materials align with installation sequencing and project milestones.
    • Provide technical clarification and coordination support to field teams during installation and execution phases.
    • Support updates to drawings and documentation based on field redlines, scope revisions, and as-built conditions.
    • Support commissioning preparation, turnover documentation, and final closeout activities for Division 27 systems.

Systems You’ll Support

  • Copper and fiber backbone systems
  • Horizontal cabling
  • Cable tray
  • Telecommunications infrastructure
  • Racks, cabinets, patching environments, equipment spaces, and supporting technology infrastructure
  • Data centers
  • High-availability facilities
  • Technically complex infrastructure projects
  • Coordination across Division 26 electrical systems, Division 27 low-voltage systems, Division 28 security systems, and adjacent construction trades

What You Bring

  • 3–6+ years of experience supporting structured cabling, low-voltage infrastructure, or construction-related technical environments
  • Working knowledge of Division 27 systems including copper, fiber, pathways, racks, cabinets, and telecommunications infrastructure
  • Ability to interpret construction drawings and translate technical design intent into coordinated execution plans
  • Understanding of room readiness, installation sequencing, and field coordination workflows
  • Familiarity with design-assist and design-build project delivery methods
  • Exposure to BIM/VDC coordination tools and model-based construction workflows preferred
  • Knowledge of RFIs, submittals, revisions, and field change processes
  • Strong communication and coordination skills across subcontractors, vendors, engineers, and field teams
  • Strong problem-solving mindset with focus on constructability and execution success
  • Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, schedule-driven construction environments
  • Experience supporting data center or mission-critical infrastructure projects is a plus
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Information Technology, or related field preferred, or equivalent industry experience
  • OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification preferred
  • BICSI Technician or related industry certifications are a plus

What’s in It for You?

  • Gain exposure to large-scale, complex infrastructure and mission-critical construction environments
  • Work alongside experienced engineers, construction leaders, BIM/VDC professionals, and field teams to deliver high-impact projects
  • Build technical coordination, field execution, and project delivery expertise within a growing organization
  • Every project brings new coordination challenges, technical problem-solving opportunities, and learning experiences
  • Comprehensive compensation package including benefits, professional development opportunities, and career growth potential

Work Environment

  • This role operates in both office and active construction site environments.
  • Responsibilities may include standing, walking, climbing, bending, kneeling, and lifting up to 50 pounds while participating in field coordination and installation activities.
  • Close visual attention is required for reviewing drawings, technical documentation, and field conditions.
