## Description

The Data Center Field Installations Technician (L2) is a developing technical role responsible for executing and overseeing in-rack installation activities of moderate complexity within a data center environment. This includes rack builds, equipment installation, structured cabling, power distribution, advanced cooling integration (DX and direct-to-chip liquid cooling), and initial system bring-up activities.

This role works with greater autonomy and is responsible for interpreting installation designs, validating work quality, and supporting troubleshooting during deployment activities.
Through proactive coordination and problem-solving, this role ensures installations are completed efficiently, accurately, and in alignment with technical standards and project timelines.
The primary objective of this role is to deliver high-quality installation and validation outcomes while minimizing delays, rework, and SLA risks.

The Data Center Field Installations Technician (L2) is responsible for managing standard to medium-complexity installation tasks, guiding L1 technicians, and resolving issues encountered during implementation.

Key Responsibilities

 * Lead rack build and in-rack deployment activities based on design documentation
 * Interpret rack layouts, elevation diagrams, and cabling schematics
 * Perform and validate rack & stack activities for servers, storage, and network equipment
 * Execute and verify structured cabling (fiber and copper), including basic testing/validation
 * Install and validate power connections (single/dual feed, PDUs, load considerations)
 * Implement and optimize cooling solutions:
*

 + Configure airflow best practices for DX-cooled environments
 + Install and validate direct-to-chip (D2C) liquid cooling systems, including cold plates, hoses, manifolds, and quick disconnects
 + Perform visual inspections for leaks and ensure proper routing, strain relief, and secure connections
 * Perform initial system bring-up activities:
*

 + Execute OS installation and basic configuration (in line with build standards and imaging processes)
 + Validate hardware functionality (POST checks, BIOS/firmware baseline verification)
 + Perform basic network connectivity checks where required
 * Conduct post-installation quality assurance:
*

 + Verify installations against design specifications and checklists
 + Perform cable, power, and labeling audits
 + Validate airflow and cooling setup (DX and D2C)
 + Identify and remediate defects or escalate issues
 * Identify and resolve installation issues, escalating when required
 * Support and guide L1 technicians on best practices and procedures
 * Coordinate with project teams, engineering, and operations for smooth delivery
 * Update documentation and report installation progress and deviations

Health & Safety Responsibilities

 * Ensure compliance with all data center safety standards, permits, and procedures
 * Actively promote safe working practices and intervene in unsafe situations
 * Apply electrical safety awareness when working with powered equipment and PDUs
 * Follow and enforce safe handling procedures for direct-to-chip liquid cooling systems (including leak prevention and response)
 * Ensure proper use of PPE by self and supporting team members
 * Conduct risk awareness during installations (eg, heavy lifts, cable congestion, liquid connections)
 * Maintain high standards of housekeeping and workspace safety
 * Report and escalate hazards, incidents, and non-compliance issues
