Work Environment & Schedule * Data Center sites * Monday-Friday * 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM, approximately 50 hours/week * Schedule currently aligns with production demands and includes mandatory overtime * Required PPE must be worn on site (safety boots required) Why This Opportunity * Work on active, highvolume data center projects * Play a critical role in reducing rework and improving build quality * Long-term project potential with opportunities to extend * Environment that values professionalism, quality, and accountability If you're a detailoriented professional who understands structured cabling and prefers ensuring work is done right the first time, this QA/QC Technician role offers a impactful and stable opportunity.
