Startech is hiring approximately experienced Structured Cabling Technicians to join our current hyperscale data center build. This is a hands-on installer role for candidates with a full lead-installer skill set — capable of executing every phase of the install from cable reel setup through final dressing, with minimal supervision. You will work in 2-person crews on high-density fiber trunk pulls (MPO, LC), copper Ethernet runs, and rack & stack activities.
Key Responsibilities:
Set up cable jacks and reels for MPO, LC, and copper Ethernet cable pulls, including large-diameter reels for 144F and 288F trunks.
Execute overhead cable pulls through ladder rack, cable tray, sleeves, and pass-throughs; manage bend radius, pulling tension, and slack loops per manufacturer spec.
Operate scissor lifts and rolling scaffolds safely at 12–15 ft ceiling heights; complete overhead dressing and cable management with proper Velcro and hook-and-loop strapping.
Perform patch and label work on both cable ends — MPO and LC termination, connector cleaning (Sticklers, US Conec, Fluke Quick Clean), inspection, and full labeling to project spec.
Handle Cat6 / Cat6A UTP Ethernet installations including cable pulls, jack termination, and Cat6/6A certification hand-off.
Required Qualifications:
Minimum 3 years of hands-on structured cabling experience with progressively increasing responsibility.
Certified for scissor lift and aerial lift operation (OSHA-compliant training documentation required).
OSHA 10 certification (OSHA 30 preferred).
Experience with pass-through installations, fire-stop coordination, and cable tray/ladder rack routing.
Working knowledge of MPO and LC connector types, cleaning tools, and inspection scopes.
