Job Description

Role :- Site Infrastructure Engineer (RCDD) 
Location :- Santa Clara, CA(Onsite)



Note: Client is not willing to sponsor any visa.  

 

Construction and new builds — low-voltage design, program delivery, vendor oversight 

ROLE SUMMARY 

Owns the IT infrastructure content of construction and lifecycle projects: new building deployments, network room build-outs, cabling projects, and refresh initiatives. Acts as Client technical authority to Facilities, architects, general contractors, and low-voltage subcontractors — reviewing designs, producing specifications, controlling scope and materials, and holding contractors to the standard. This is a design and program-engineering role, not an installation role; execution is performed by contracted trades under this engineer's direction. 

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 

Design and specification 
  • Partner with Facilities, Network, AV, Security, and End User Support stakeholders to establish IT requirements for each project at the design stage. 
  • Review architectural, electrical, and low-voltage drawings against Client standards; issue formal design comments and track resolution. 
  • Produce construction documents, specifications, and installation standards for low-voltage cabling contractors. 
  • Define equipment placement within network rooms — rack elevations and positions for network gear, security and BAS panels, service wall fields, pathway and containment routes. 
  • Specify pathway, grounding/bonding, fire-stopping, labelling, and testing requirements in line with TIA/BICSI standards and local code. 
Program and vendor delivery 
  • Develop ROM and BOM for new builds and refreshes; drive procurement of long-lead materials against project milestones. 
  • Oversee low-voltage contractors through installation, ensuring work is delivered to design specification and quality standard. 
  • Issue Statements of Work and detailed working instructions to vendors; review and validate submittals, RFIs, and change orders. 
  • Walk construction projects on a regular cadence and issue written site reports capturing Client feedback, defects, and corrective actions. 
  • Manage punch-list closure, acceptance testing, and test-result review (fibre and copper certification) prior to sign-off. 
Closeout and handover 
  • Compile and record close-out documentation — as-built drawings, test results, warranty certificates, labelling schedules — and hand over to the operations team and end users. 
  • Ensure all newly delivered infrastructure is loaded into Netbox/Nautobot and CMDB before project closure. 
  • Conduct formal handover walkthroughs so operations inherit a documented, supportable environment. 
  • Capture lessons learned and feed improvements back into Client design standards and vendor specifications. 
Capacity and lifecycle engineering 
  • Maintain a forward view of network room capacity — available ports, fibre strand counts, PDU outlets, rack units, and power headroom — and flag constraints ahead of demand. 
  • Plan and scope lifecycle refresh initiatives for cable plant, racks, and power infrastructure. 
  • Support regional power shutdown planning from an infrastructure design and risk perspective. 
REQUIRED SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS 
  • Bachelor’s degree in information technology, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field, or equivalent experience. 
  • 8+ years in low-voltage design, telecommunications consulting, IT construction project management, or structured cabling program delivery. 
  • RCDD certification (or actively pursuing) — this is the core credential for the design and specification scope. 
  • Working command of TIA-568/569/606/607, BICSI TDMM practice, NEC low-voltage provisions, and applicable local building and fire code. 
  • Ability to read and markup architectural, electrical, and telecom drawings; proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit, or Bluebeam for review and redline. 
  • Demonstrated experience directing low-voltage subcontractors and general contractors, including SOW authoring, submittal review, and change-order control. 
  • Deep understanding of network room infrastructure — racks, containment, grounding, power distribution, cooling, and fibre/copper plant design. 
  • Strong written communication; able to produce specifications, site reports, and closeout packages to a professional standard. 
  • Comfortable operating with minimal direction in ambiguous, fast-moving construction environments. 
PREFERRED 
  • 10+ years of related experience, including delivery of ground-up building or large campus fit-out projects. 
  • Additional BICSI credentials (DCDC, OSP, RTPM) or PMP. 
  • Experience delivering lab, cleanroom, or high-density compute environments. 
  • Proficiency with DCIM/CMDB platforms, and with SQL, Python, or PowerBI/Tableau for capacity and program reporting. 
  • Prior experience at a large-scale technology company or hyperscale operator. 
SERVICE MEASURES 
  • Projects delivered to schedule and to design specification, with defects closed before handover. 
  • Design reviews completed within agreed turnaround at each project gate. 
  • BOM/ROM accuracy against final installed quantities. 
  • Complete closeout documentation and CMDB records at every project completion.
