## About the Role

You don't need data center or cabling experience to apply. In fact, we prefer you don't have it yet. We're looking for people with a strong construction or trades background who take pride in accurate, clean work - and we'll train you on the low-voltage and cabling side from the ground up. Many of our best data center technicians started exactly where you are now: skilled with tools and blueprints, new to cabling.

If you've got a background in framing, finish carpentry, electrical rough-in, millwork, industrial fabrication, or similar trades - this is a place to grow into a specialized, in-demand technical field with real career advancement., We're seeking detail-oriented, tools-savvy tradespeople to join our prefabrication team, building cable assemblies, rack elevations, and infrastructure components in a controlled warehouse environment before they're shipped and installed in live data centers. This is an entry point into the low-voltage and data center industry - no prior cabling or IT experience required. We'll train you on cabling, terminations, testing, and industry standards on the job., * High school diploma or equivalent.

 * IN PERSON Aerial Lift training/certification. Online certification does NOT meet site requirements.
 * Background in a skilled trade preferred - construction, carpentry, framing, electrical (residential/commercial), millwork, industrial fabrication, HVAC, or similar hands-on trades.
 * Strong grasp of measurement, tolerances, and precision assembly (e.g., knows what "square," "level," and "plumb" mean and how to check for them).
 * Comfortable reading blueprints, technical drawings, or assembly diagrams.
 * Proficient with common hand and power tools.
 * Strong attention to detail and pride in clean, accurate work.
 * Ability to follow written specifications and instructions closely.
 * Good problem-solving skills and ability to work both independently and on a team.
 * Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work in a physically active warehouse environment (standing, bending, repetitive tasks).
 * No prior low-voltage, cabling, fiber optic, or data center experience required - this will be trained in-house.

Preferred (Not Required)

 * Any exposure to blueprints/schematics in a construction or industrial setting.
 * Experience in a fast-paced production or assembly-line environment.
 * Interest in eventually transitioning to on-site data center installation work.

## Description

* Build cable assemblies, harnesses, and patch cables to precise specifications and drawings.
 * Construct and assemble rack elevations, cable trays, and other prefabricated components according to build specs and blueprints.
 * Measure, cut, and assemble components with a high degree of accuracy - squareness, alignment, and consistency are critical.
 * Read and interpret technical drawings, blueprints, and build-of-material (BOM) instructions.
 * Label, organize, and stage completed assemblies for shipment and field installation.
 * Use hand tools, power tools, and (once trained) cable testing equipment to complete and verify work.
 * Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workspace, following all warehouse safety protocols.
 * Work collaboratively with team leads and engineers to meet build schedules and quality standards.
 * Keep accurate records of completed builds and materials used.
 * As skills develop, take on more advanced low-voltage tasks - terminations, fiber optic work, testing, and eventually on-site data center installation.
