Job description

Position Overview 

As the Data Center Cabling Project Manager, you will lead and manage, cabling installations for major AI and hyperscale data centers across the U.S. You'll oversee all aspects of low-voltage cabling, from planning and standards to field execution, and make sure everything is installed safely, correctly, and on schedule. 

You do not need prior Project Manager experience to be considered. We're looking for experienced leaders with strong data center cabling backgrounds who have successfully led field teams and installations. If you've worked as a Data Center Cabling Superintendent, Cabling Superintendent, Cabling Lead, Lead Technician, Lead Fiber Technician, Foreman, Field Supervisor, Site Supervisor, Installation Supervisor, or similar leadership role, we'd love to hear from you. If you've been leading crews, managing projects in the field, coordinating subcontractors, and driving installations from start to finish, this role may be a great fit.

  • This is a full-time, salaried position offering $100,000-$120,000 commensurate with experience, full benefits, PTO, training, and performance-based bonuses.
  • This position requires 75% travel to project sites nationwide, including AI build locations.

Key Responsibilities 

  • Review and oversee installation of cabling and support systems in new data center white space. 
  • Set and maintain cabling standards (fiber and copper) for multiple projects. 
  • Build and manage cabling tracking sheets (pull patch schedules) 
  • Supervise and coordinate subcontractors and internal crews to keep projects on schedule. 
  • Perform on-site quality checks - verifying terminations, labeling, routing, and test results. 
  • Monitor project progress and timelines; communicate changes and updates to leadership and clients. 
  • Manage documentation including submittals, RFIs, change orders, and invoicing. 
  • Enforce safety rules and lead daily toolbox talks with field teams. 
  • Report daily field progress and any issues impacting schedules or budgets. 

Required Qualifications 

  • 3+ years of experience in structured cabling, low-voltage, or fiber optic systems - ideally in large data centers or mission-critical environments. 
  • Proven experience managing field cabling crews. 
  • Ability to read and understand cabling design drawings and specifications. 
  • Knowledge of labeling standards and cabling best practices. 
  • Strong Excel skills (data vetting, port mapping, tracking, pivots/macros). 
  • Excellent organization and communication skills. 
  • Comfortable working in active, live data center environments. 
  • Able to handle fast-paced, high-pressure project timelines. 
  • Willing to travel 75% of the time to project sites (8-12 hour days during builds). 
  • Hands-on troubleshooting skills using OLTS, OTDR, VFL, and similar testing tools. 
  • Experience leading 5-10+ technicians across multiple sites. 
  • Knowledge of safety compliance, field documentation, and reporting. 

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent field experience. 
  • Experience with cabling systems for AI or HPC workloads (Spine-Leaf topology, InfiniBand, etc.). 
  • Strong understanding of racks, containment, and pathway systems. 
  • Familiar with TIA/EIA and BICSI standards and building codes. 
  • Experience working with owner's reps, vendors, and major manufacturers. 
  • Certifications like BICSI, RCDD, or TIA are a plus. 
  • Experience managing bids, RFIs, RFPs, change orders, and QA/QC documentation. 
  • Advanced troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for cabling issues. 

To support a fair, consistent, and high-quality hiring experience, some interviews may be recorded. These recordings help our team focus fully on the conversation at hand, rather than note-taking, and allow us to better evaluate and improve our recruitment process. Recordings are used solely for internal purposes such as training, quality assurance, and process improvement. Candidates will be informed in advance and asked to provide consent before any recording takes place.
