This role focuses on installing and routing fiber optic cabling and pathway systems such as innerduct, Max Cell, and microfiber in a fast-paced, high-security data center environment. You will support large-scale data center projects by managing fiber installation activities across indoor data halls and outdoor campus and underground pathways, ensuring all work meets strict safety and quality standards.

• Install and route fiber optic cable, innerduct, conduit, and pathway systems throughout the data center campus and underground infrastructure.
• Safely pull and secure cabling through manholes, handholes, cable vaults, and conduit systems while maintaining proper cable handling practices.
• Read and interpret cable maps, riser diagrams, construction drawings, and work instructions to execute installation plans accurately.
• Ensure all installations comply with company standards, project specifications, and safety requirements.
• Label and document installed fiber and pathways, maintaining accurate records of completed work and changes in the field.
• Collaborate closely with project teams, including installers, splicers, and construction crews, to meet timelines and coordinate work sequences.
• Perform quality inspections and quality control checks on installed cabling and pathway systems.
• Apply technical knowledge of pulling tension, bend radius, and cable management to protect fiber integrity.
• Work safely in confined spaces, mechanical rooms, and high-security areas while following strict safety protocols.
• Maintain site cleanliness standards and contribute to a safe, organized work environment.
• Adapt to varying weather conditions and project demands, including overtime, to support schedule requirements.

• 1–3 years of fiber installation experience, preferably in outside plant (OSP) or data center environments.
• Hands-on experience installing, pulling, and routing fiber optic cable in conduit, innerduct, and pathway systems such as Max Cell.
• Proficiency with cable pulling tools and equipment used in fiber installation and pathway construction.
• Ability to read and interpret cable maps, riser diagrams, and construction drawings.
• Strong understanding of pulling tension, bend radius, and proper cable management for fiber optic cabling.
• Capability to work safely in confined spaces, mechanical rooms, manholes, and other restricted areas.
• Physical readiness for demanding tasks, including standing, climbing, and lifting throughout the workday.
• Ability to work both indoors and outdoors in secure environments and varying weather conditions.
• Valid driver's license.

• Experience working on large-scale data center projects or similar high-security facilities.
• Familiarity with pathway systems such as Max Cell and innerduct in campus and underground settings.
• Attention to detail in labeling, documentation, and record-keeping for installed fiber and pathways.
• Comfort working in a team-oriented environment with installers, splicers, and construction crews.
• Commitment to strict safety protocols and quality control standards.

You will join a team-oriented environment that values safety, precision, and collaboration on mission-critical infrastructure projects. The role offers steady, full-time hours with opportunities for overtime, providing consistent work and exposure to advanced data center technologies. You will work in a professional setting that emphasizes clear processes, high standards, and strong coordination across disciplines, supporting your growth as a specialized fiber installation professional.

The position is based in a fast-paced, high-security data center environment where badge access is required. Work is a mix of indoor data hall activities and outdoor campus and underground pathway tasks, including time in mechanical rooms, cable vaults, manholes, and other confined spaces. The role is physically active, involving standing, climbing, and lifting throughout the day. The typical schedule averages around 50 hours per week, with overtime as needed to meet project timelines.
