Travel Data Center Technician

About the role

NTT is building a specialized "Tiger Team" of experienced Level II Data Center Technicians to support the Hi‑Fiber initiative for a major customer. The project focuses on upgrading existing coaxial cabling infrastructure to fiber optic technology across multiple locations. The Tiger Team will be the first technicians deployed to new project sites, helping establish processes, procedures, and best practices during the initial 6‑8 weeks of each deployment. Once a project is successfully launched and transitioned to ongoing support teams, the Tiger Team moves to the next location and repeats the process. Between deployments, technicians support operations at NTT data centers within their home markets. This role is ideal for experienced data center professionals who can contribute immediately in a fast‑paced environment. Candidates should have strong troubleshooting abilities, experience in data center environments, and a solid understanding of structured cabling and fiber infrastructure. Long term, NTT plans to bring on Level I cable technicians for ongoing installation work, while the Tiger Team focuses on project startup, technical leadership, and issue resolution.
