Senior Data Center Technician – Copper

This is a hands-on data center infrastructure role focused on copper cabling, rack-and-stack activities, physical-layer deployment, and technical remediation.
You’ll support enterprise, colocation, hyperscale, AI/HPC, construction, and operational data center environments across a wide range of customer sites.
The role combines installation, troubleshooting, smart-hands support, documentation, and quality control to keep critical infrastructure reliable and well organized.
You’ll work from detailed cable schedules, rack elevations, port maps, drawings, and runbooks while maintaining high standards for workmanship, safety, and accuracy.
