  • Porting and connecting network equipment
  • Using hand and power tools safely and effectively
  • Assisting with low-voltage and telecom installations
  • Maintaining a clean, organized, and safe work environment
What We're Looking For
  • Strong work ethic and positive attitude
  • Reliable attendance and dependability
  • Ability to work in a physically demanding environment
  • Willingness to learn and be trained
  • Comfortable using hand and power tools
  • Ability to lift, carry, and move materials throughout the day
  • Team-oriented mindset
Preferred Experience

Experience in any of the following is a plus:

  • Construction
  • Low-voltage cabling
  • Electrical work
  • Data centers
  • Cable pulling and installation
  • CAT5/CAT6 cabling
  • Military service
  • Warehouse or industrial environments
Why Apply?
  • Entry-level opportunity with on-the-job training
  • Gain valuable experience in the rapidly growing data center industry
  • Work with a team that values attitude, reliability, and growth potential
  • Opportunity to develop technical skills and advance your career

If you're dependable, eager to learn, and ready to work hard, we'd love to talk with you—even if you don't have telecom experience yet.
