Jobbeschreibung

A simple way to explain it: when your home Wi‑Fi goes down, you call customer care and they try to fix it over the phone. If that doesn’t work, they send a field technician to your home to fix it in person. This role is that field technician, except the work happens inside a data center rather than in people’s homes. Candidates should know fiber optics and be physically fit, since the job involves carrying heavy equipment. The role is straightforward, and there are plenty of qualified candidates available.

Candidates must be local to New Albany, Ohio, or willing to relocate. Relocation is acceptable, but candidates must clearly understand it is required, because the work is done in the data center. Tell every candidate the role is with Tenarai (formerly Infogain) for the end client Meta. Mention both names and explain they are the same company: Infogain rebranded and changed its name to Tenarai.

The schedule is about 12 hours per day, 4 days per week, and weekend work is required. The exact shift arrangement is shared after the offer. Onsite work is very important. The role is fully onsite at Meta’s New Albany data center. For any candidate whose commute is more than one hour, explain the onsite expectation in full detail and confirm they are okay with it. Get this confirmation from the candidate in writing and include it in the submission email.

Many candidates are being sourced now or have been sourced before, so duplicates are expected. Log every candidate’s information in the tracker maintained with Jai. Check the tracker before moving anyone forward to confirm the profile can proceed to interview.

Interview process: 30-minute technical round, 15-minute manager round with Meta.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• Data Center / Fiber Optic / Structured Cabling Technician

Core Qualifications:

• Hands‑on experience in fiber optics, structured cabling (including Cat6A), rack and stack, testing, and break‑fix support.
• Proficiency with testing tools (OTDR, power meters, cable testers) and physical network troubleshooting (Layer 1).

Key Responsibilities:

1. 1. Equipment Installation & Deployment: Install server racks and network equipment; connect switches; manage, label, and route fiber optic and copper cabling; support rack moves, upgrades, and decommissioning.
2. 2. Network Testing: Test newly installed fiber and network circuits using OTDR and power meters to verify quality and signal strength.
3. 3. Troubleshooting & Repair: Diagnose connectivity issues, replace faulty hardware (cables, optics, switches), and respond to critical outages.
4. 4. Maintenance: Perform preventive maintenance, clean fiber optic connectors, inspect routing, and support new build‑outs.
5. 5. Safety & Compliance: Follow data center safety procedures, use required PPE/ESD protection, and adhere to lockout/tagout protocols.
6. 6. Collaboration: Work with engineering, facility, and supply chain teams; maintain ticket updates and provide clear shift handovers.

Preferred Skills & Certifications:

• Experience with liquid‑cooled data center racks, barcode scanning, asset tracking, and large hyperscale data centers.
• BICSI Installer or Technician certification.
• OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification.

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to lift 50+ lbs regularly, stand/walk for extended periods, work on ladders/lifts, and handle small components in warm data center environments.
