MCA Communications is seeking a highly experienced Structured Cabling Technician who knows the ins and outs of cabling large commercial facilities. This is a senior-level position for someone who can take ownership of complex installations from rough-in through certification — not a learn-on-the-job role. You'll lead the buildout of MDF and IDF rooms, install support structures and cable pathways, and deliver expert-level copper and fiber work on large-scale commercial projects.
What You'll Do
- Build out MDF and IDF rooms, including racks, cabinets, ladder rack, backboards, grounding/bonding, and cable management
- Install support structures and pathways: J-hooks, cable tray, conduit sleeves, innerduct, and firestopping at penetrations
- Pull, terminate, dress, and label Cat6/Cat6A cabling to industry standards
- Terminate, splice (fusion), and test single-mode and multimode fiber optic cabling
- Test and certify copper and fiber links (Fluke DSX or equivalent; OTDR and power meter/light source for fiber)
- Read and interpret blueprints, riser diagrams, and construction drawings
- Coordinate with general contractors, electricians, and other trades on active job sites
- Maintain accurate as-built documentation, labeling schemes, and test results
- Mentor junior technicians and help enforce quality and safety standards
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of structured cabling experience in large commercial facilities (office towers, hospitals, campuses, data centers, industrial)
- Deep knowledge of MDF/IDF design and buildout best practices
- Expert-level Cat6/Cat6A installation and termination skills
- Strong fiber optic skills: fusion splicing, connectorization, and OTDR testing
- Working knowledge of ANSI/TIA-568 and 569 standards and NEC requirements
- Ability to read construction blueprints and telecom drawings
- Comfortable working on active construction sites (lifts, ladders, PPE)
- Reliable transportation and ability to pass background check and drug screen
Preferred Qualifications
- BICSI Installer 2 or Technician certification
- OSHA 10/30
- Manufacturer certifications (CommScope, Panduit, Corning, Leviton, etc.)
- Experience leading small crews or running point on a floor/building
What We Offer
- Competitive pay based on experience
- Health, dental, and vision benefits
- Paid time off and holidays
- Steady pipeline of large commercial projects
- Opportunity for advancement into lead and foreman roles
