• Complete all required paperwork: timesheets, material tracking, work orders, and documentation updates.
• Maintain strict adherence to quality, safety, and data center protocol standards.
• Support project leads with additional duties as needed to keep the build-out on schedule.

You’ll gain experience in full‑scale data center builds, including conveyance installation, rack deployment, and structured cabling—valuable skills for long‑term career growth in the data center and telecom industries.
