Job summary

Align is seeking a Data Center Cabling Foreman to lead large-scale cabling installations for AI and hyperscale data centers across the U.S. This hybrid role combines field leadership with hands-on work, ideal for someone stepping beyond Foreman into higher-level supervision.

You will assist the Superintendent with planning and on-site execution while coordinating with technicians, contractors, and vendors. This role requires travel and strong technical, safety, and scheduling skills.

Qualifications

2-4+ years in structured cabling, low-voltage, or fiber optic systems (data center preferred).
Experience leading small cabling crews (foreman or lead).
Ability to read cabling drawings, rack elevations, and labeling standards.
Experience using fiber testing tools (OLTS, OTDR, VFL).
Strong Excel skills for port mapping, tracking, and documentation.
Comfortable in live data center environments with fast-paced schedules.

Responsibilities

Support structured cabling installations in data center white space and coordinate daily work for cabling crews under the Superintendent.
Perform on-site QA for fiber/copper terminations, labeling, routing, and test results while upholding safety.
Assist with cabling standards, tracking sheets, patch schedules, port maps, and drawings reviews to meet TIA/BICSI specs.
Communicate field progress, schedule risks, and material needs to project leadership.
Support documentation, RFIs, change orders, daily reports, and QA/QC corrective actions.
