  • Perform cable routing, lacing, terminating, and testing.
  • Maintain clean and standards-compliant rack organization.
  • Work overhead and within structured cable pathways.
Optical & Circuit Validation
  • Support physical layer testing and circuit turn-up activities.
  • Validate connectivity and assist with troubleshooting network transport issues.
  • Work within AC and DC powered environments.
  • Follow data center best practices for redundancy and cable management.
  • Maintain compliance with safety and operational standards.
Required Experience
  • 3–5 years in data center operations or telecom infrastructure environments.
  • Hands-on experience with fiber and Ethernet deployments.
  • Familiarity with telecom transport and IP network environments.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Strong communication and coordination skills.
  • Willingness to work flexible shifts, including nights/weekends when required.
