• Lead technicians, cabling crews, and subcontractors, and verify vendor workmanship and test results
• Run cabling remediation, MDF/IDF builds, and data center cleanup projects from scope through handoff
• Serve as primary contact for colocation providers and back up senior data center leadership, while keeping rack elevations, floor plans, cable schedules, network diagrams, and power layouts current

What You Bring

• 7+ years in enterprise data centers (50+ racks), structured cabling, or low-voltage infrastructure
• 5+ years of hands-on structured cabling and fiber work: splicing, termination, testing, patch panels, remediation
• Experience leading technicians, cabling crews, or subcontractors, including directing third-party vendors and checking their work
• Ownership of at least one full cabling remediation, MDF/IDF build, or data center cleanup project
• Ability to read rack elevations, floor plans, cable schedules, network diagrams, and power layouts
