Job description

Mechanical Assembly Technician I
Location: Manassas, VA
Work Environment: On-site, hyperscale data center
Schedule: 10-hour shifts, five days per week
Position Type: Contract
About the Opportunity

We are looking for motivated Mechanical Assembly Technicians interested in building their experience within a large-scale hyperscale data center environment.

This is a great opportunity for candidates coming from construction, manufacturing, industrial maintenance, mechanical assembly, skilled trades, or military technical backgrounds who want exposure to mission-critical data center infrastructure.

You will work alongside experienced technicians and crew leads to install large mechanical and structural assemblies supporting the continued build-out of a hyperscale data center campus.

What You'll Do
  • Stage materials, hardware, and equipment ahead of installation.

  • Assist with structural support frame installation.

  • Assist with concrete anchors, module placement, alignment, and bolting.

  • Install containment panels, filler panels, trays, and doors.

  • Safely operate hand and power tools.

  • Operate scissor lifts after required training/qualification.

  • Follow drawings, installation instructions, and direction from lead technicians.

  • Maintain clean and organized work areas.

  • Participate in daily pre-task planning and safety activities.

What We're Looking For
  • 1+ year of experience in construction, manufacturing, industrial maintenance, mechanical assembly, or a military technical environment.

  • Experience safely using hand and power tools.

  • Ability to follow drawings and written work instructions.

  • Comfortable performing physical, hands-on installation work.

  • Ability to work at height using scissor lifts and other aerial platforms.

  • Ability to lift and carry up to 50 lbs.

  • Strong focus on safety, quality, and teamwork.

Preferred Experience
  • Mechanical or structural assembly.

  • Data center construction or installation.

  • Containment system installation.

  • Aerial work platform experience.

  • OSHA 10 certification.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This role gives technicians the opportunity to gain hands-on experience inside a large, rapidly scaling hyperscale data center environment while working alongside experienced mechanical installation professionals. It is particularly well suited for someone looking to take construction, military, manufacturing, or mechanical experience and translate it into the growing data center infrastructure space.
