Are you a hands-on leader who thrives in fast-paced, high-tech environments? We're looking for an experienced Foreman to lead field teams on hyperscale data center construction projects-ensuring every installation is completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards.

In this role, you'll be the driving force on-site- coordinating teams, managing logistics, and keeping projects aligned with scope, schedule, and safety goals.

  • Promote Safety:Conduct daily toolbox talks, enforce PPE compliance, and champion a zero-incident safety culture.

  • Manage Materials:Coordinate requisitions, deliveries, and inventory with the procurement team to ensure just-in-time availability of tools and materials.
  • Mentor for Growth:Support team skill evaluations, provide on-the-job training, and guide field staff in developing their technical and leadership capabilities.
  • Document Everything:Maintain redlines, deviations, installed quantities, and progress reports to ensure project accuracy and accountability.
  • Recommend & Improve:Identify process, safety, or efficiency improvements and make recommendations aligned with best practices and industry standards.
What You Bring
  • 5-8 years of experience in data center or critical infrastructure construction.
  • 2-4 years of leadership experience as a Foreman or Lead Technician.
  • Deep knowledge of structured cabling, OSP/ISP and low-voltage systems.
  • BICSI Technician (Tech) certification required; RCDD or OSP Specialist preferred.
  • Familiarity with Division 27/28 standards, QA/QC procedures, and documentation control.
  • Proficiency in reading and interpreting blueprints, specs, and testing documentation.
  • Installer certifications from one or more manufacturers (Leviton, Berk-Tek, SYSTIMAX, Panduit, etc.).
  • OSHA 30 and First Aid/CPR certifications preferred.
  • Ability to forecast staffing, materials, and project needs up to 4 weeks in advance.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and mentoring skills.
  • Basic computer proficiency (Office 365, Smartsheet, mobile applications).
