Travel Data Center Technician - Rapid Response Team 75% National Travel
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. This project focuses on upgrading existing coaxial cabling infrastructure to fiber optic technology across multiple locations. The Tiger Team will serve as 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 will move to the next location and repeat the process. Between project deployments, technicians will support operations at NTT data centers within their home markets. This role is ideal for experienced data center professionals who can immediately contribute in a fast‑paced environment. Candidates should have strong troubleshooting abilities, experience working 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 to perform ongoing installation work, while the Tiger Team focuses on project startup, technical leadership, and issue resolution.
