• Keep work areas clean, organized, and free of debris throughout installs
• Assist senior technicians and project leads on larger build-outs and infrastructure upgrades
• Accurately document completed work, including as-built updates and install checklists

• Ability to bend, kneel, stand, and work overhead for extended periods
• Basic understanding of structured cabling, racking, and data center hardware a plus (will train)

• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow install plans and documentation precisely
• Good communication skills and ability to work well as part of an install crew
• Reliable transportation and ability to pass a background check
