Overview

The Data Center L2 Technician performs qualified rack deployment work and serves as an experienced field resource for L1 technicians, reinforcing installation quality, safe material handling, and procedural compliance. As part of a traveling deployment team, you will work at client sites across the country on deployment assignments.

How You Will Make an Impact

• Verify completed tasks against approved checklists, layout documents, and acceptance criteria; document defects and discrepancies.
• Coach L1 technicians on procedures, equipment checks, safety controls, and documentation, and assist with onboarding.
• Serve as an initial resource for L1 technicians on approved deployment procedures; document and elevate out-of-scope work such as network turn-up, server cabling, and commissioning rather than performing it.

• Follow SOPs and work instructions, elevate noncompliance promptly, and maintain 5S standards.
• Maintain inventory and work tracking records, assist with physical inventories, and support continuous improvement.
• Operate material-handling equipment and box trucks only when qualified and authorized; reinforce PPE compliance and stop-work authority.

What You Need to Succeed

• High school diploma or GED.
• At least one year of experience in data center logistics, warehouse or receiving operations, asset lifecycle management, equipment installation, or a related hands-on field.
• Ability to read and follow SOPs, work instructions, and layout documentation.
• Ability to coach peers, document issues, and identify quality or safety risks.
• Proficiency with Windows-based programs and digital tracking tools, including computers and mobile devices.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to manage changing priorities.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with preconfigured rack deployment or heavy equipment movement.
• Previous peer training, quality inspection, or powered equipment qualification.

• Ability to walk, squat and climb for extended periods of time.
• Ability to work in environments that may include areas reaching temperatures of 90+ degrees Fahrenheit at times.
• Travel required up to 100% of the time.
