• Install and mount rack hardware such as patch panels, cable managers, PDUs, and rails.
• Complete simple build checklists and work order records accurately.
• Keep the work area clean and organized, and follow all factory safety and ESD procedures.

This position description identifies the responsibilities and tasks typically associated with the performance of the position. Other relevant essential functions may be required.

What You Need

• High school diploma or equivalent; trade school or industry certification (e.g., BICSI, Fluke CCTT, CFOT) is a plus.
• 2+ years of hands-on structured cabling, low-voltage, rack integration, or data center cabling experience.
• Proficiency terminating and testing copper cabling; fiber termination and testing experience strongly preferred.
• Ability to read and follow cabling maps, rack elevations, build sheets, and labeling standards.
• Skilled use of hand tools, power tools, crimpers, punch-down tools, and cable testers.
• Familiarity with TIA/EIA cabling standards and cable management best practices.
• Strong manual dexterity and an eye for neat, consistent workmanship.
• Reliable, safety-conscious, and able to work independently or on a team under direction of floor leads.
• Ability to follow verbal and written work instructions and report issues to a lead.
