Job description

Technologies, like people, work better when they work together. North offers a unique breadth and depth of expertise across the Internet of Things (IoT), networking and connectivity, and safety and security. Our smart integrated technology solutions transform the way people, organisations, and places work. Delivering through five UK regional offices, we provide long-term, multi-year partnerships in managed services and support, keeping organisations moving in the right direction.

Primary Responsibilities

You will be learning new engineering skills in installing, terminating, testing, and certifying network cable and fibre optic infrastructure components in a Data Centre mission-critical environment.

Be trained to assist in the installation of floor-mounted communication cabinets and server racks within data halls, ICT blanking, and cable management tasks for hot and cold aisle containment operations.

Assist in performing cable moves and changes to existing systems as required. Work with engineers to patch data & server cabinets according to client spreadsheets, patching schedules, and cabinet layouts, ensuring all Add/Moves/Changes (A/M/C) are approved, correctly recorded, labelled, and reported.
