Lead Data Center Cabling Technician

As a Lead Data Center Cabling Technician, you will support large-scale cabling installations for major AI and hyperscale data centers across the U.S. This hybrid role blends field leadership with hands-on work, ideal for someone who has grown beyond a Foreman role but is not yet a full Superintendent.

You'll assist the Superintendent with planning, standards enforcement, and on-site execution while working directly with technicians, contractors, and vendors. This role is heavily field-facing and requires strong technical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to help keep teams aligned with project timelines and quality expectations.

- Communicate field progress, schedule risks, and material needs to project leadership.

- Support documentation, RFIs, change orders, daily reports, and QA/QC corrective actions.

- 2-4 years experience in structured cabling, low-voltage, or fiber optic systems (data center or mission-critical preferred).
