Fiber Freelance Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Type: Contract / Project-Based
Location: Colorado – Onsite
Duration: 3–6 months, with potential for extension or freelance/project-based engagement
Expected Start: Late October / Early November 2026

We are seeking an experienced Fiber Cabling Engineer / Infrastructure Deployment Specialist to support a large-scale AI Factory / GPU cluster deployment in Colorado.

The project involves deployment of an approximately 20,000-GPU AI computing environment with approximately 100,000 fiber-optic cable runs across a highly dense data center/AI cluster environment.

The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience designing, deploying, managing, testing, and validating high-density fiber infrastructure in large-scale data centers, hyperscale environments, HPC clusters, or similar mission-critical facilities.

This is a field-focused infrastructure role requiring strong technical knowledge of fiber cabling, deployment coordination, testing, quality control, documentation, and commissioning.

• Plan, coordinate, and support deployment of high-density fiber-optic cabling.
• Coordinate installation of approximately 100,000 fiber runs across the facility.
• Develop and maintain fiber layouts, pathways, rack elevations, cable schedules, labeling standards, and connectivity documentation.
• Coordinate with data center, network, electrical, construction, and AI infrastructure teams.
• Manage fiber routing, pathways, patch panels, fiber distribution frames, breakout assemblies, and high-density connectivity.
• Validate fiber connectivity, polarity, labeling, routing, termination, and installation quality.
• Perform or coordinate fiber testing, including OTDR, insertion loss, and optical power testing.
• Troubleshoot excessive loss, polarity issues, damaged fibers, and physical-layer defects.
• Review engineering drawings and identify routing, capacity, congestion, and accessibility issues.
• Maintain accurate as-built documentation and cabling records.
• Coordinate installation contractors and field technicians.
• Conduct quality inspections covering cable management, bend-radius compliance, labeling, separation, and pathway utilization.
• Support cutover, commissioning, and connectivity validation.
• Track installation progress, testing results, punch-list items, open issues, and remediation activities.
• Provide technical guidance on large-scale, high-density fiber deployment strategies.

• 5+ years of experience in fiber-optic cabling, data center infrastructure, network infrastructure, or a related field.
• Strong hands-on experience with high-density fiber cabling environments.
• Experience working in large-scale data centers, hyperscale environments, HPC clusters, or similar infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of single-mode and/or multimode fiber infrastructure.
• Experience with fiber termination, splicing, patching, routing, labeling, and testing.
• Knowledge of fiber polarity, connector types, patch panels, fiber distribution systems, and high-density fiber architectures.
• Experience reading and interpreting cabling drawings, rack elevations, pathway layouts, and engineering documentation.
• Experience coordinating large-scale field deployments involving multiple installation teams or contractors.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced construction/deployment environment with aggressive timelines.
• Strong communication and coordination skills.
• Ability and willingness to work onsite in Colorado.

• Experience supporting AI/GPU cluster deployments or HPC environments.
• Experience with hyperscale data center construction or deployment.
• Experience supporting deployments involving 10,000+ GPUs or similarly large compute environments.
• Experience with tens of thousands of fiber connections/runs.
• Knowledge of 400G/800G optical connectivity and associated fiber infrastructure.
• Familiarity with structured cabling standards and data center cabling best practices.
• Experience with fiber certification and testing equipment.
• BICSI, fiber-optic, or equivalent technical certifications.
