Connectivity Engineer

The Connectivity Engineer is responsible for supporting the installation, coordination, testing, and turnover of structured cabling, fiber optic, and low-voltage systems on hyperscale data center construction projects. This role ensures connectivity infrastructure is installed in accordance with project specifications, hyperscale owner standards, industry best practices, and commissioning requirements with a strong focus on reliability, scalability, and operational readiness. The Connectivity Engineer works closely with Project Managers, QA/QC teams, commissioning agents, IT stakeholders, subcontractors, and vendors to support the successful deployment and turnover of mission‑critical connectivity systems.

• Support installation and integration of connectivity systems, including structured cabling (fiber and copper), backbone and horizontal cabling systems, telecommunications rooms, racks, cabinets, and enclosures, pathways, trays, raceways and supports, grounding, bonding, and labeling systems.
• Coordinate rack‑and‑stack activities and the deployment of white‑space infrastructure.
• Review and interpret construction drawings, network diagrams, specifications, submittals, and ensure installations comply with project specifications, manufacturer requirements, TIA/EIA standards, BICSI best practices, and hyperscale owner requirements.
• Support phased data hall turnover and fast‑track construction sequencing.

• Coordinate and document testing activities, including fiber optic testing, copper certification, OTDR and performance validation testing, and support commissioning and integrated systems testing activities.
• Troubleshoot connectivity and infrastructure issues during deployment and turnover, ensuring deficiencies are identified and resolved prior to turnover milestones.
• Support operational readiness and client acceptance activities.

• Work closely with connectivity subcontractors, vendors, and IT teams to coordinate installation activities and resolve field issues.
• Coordinate with Electrical, Mechanical, Fire Protection, Architectural, and commissioning teams to ensure proper system integration.
• Participate in coordination meetings, pull‑planning sessions, and project status reviews.
• Assist with tracking long‑lead connectivity materials and network hardware deliveries.

• Maintain accurate project documentation including test reports, certification results, as‑built documentation, deficiency logs, corrective action tracking, and turnover and closeout packages.
• Utilize project management platforms such as Procore, BIM 360, Bluebeam, Primavera P6, or MS Project as applicable.
• Provide regular progress updates to project leadership and client stakeholders.

• Support preparation of connectivity turnover documentation and closeout packages.
• Verify connectivity systems meet quality, performance, and documentation requirements prior to owner turnover.
• Assist with final inspections, acceptance testing, and turnover readiness reviews.

• Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of structured cabling systems, fiber optics, and low‑voltage infrastructure.
• Communication: Clear and professional communication with subcontractors, vendors, clients, and project leadership.
• Problem Solving: Ability to proactively identify and resolve connectivity and coordination issues.
• Accountability: Takes ownership of assigned connectivity scopes and deliverables.
• Organization: Effectively manages testing activities, documentation, and project priorities.
• Professionalism: Represents company and project standards with integrity and consistency.

Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Telecommunications, Engineering, Information Technology, or related field preferred; equivalent experience accepted.

• 3+ years of experience supporting connectivity, low‑voltage, or network infrastructure deployments on large‑scale construction projects.
• Prior experience on hyperscale data center or…
