- 2+ years in a foreman, crew lead, or supervisory role leading fiber/cabling teams.
- Proven experience working on traveling or multi-site construction/build projects.
- High school diploma or equivalency certificate.
- Strong hands-on knowledge of fiber optic best practices, OTDR/power meter testing, structured cabling, and safety protocols.
- Certification in fiber optics and/or cable installation (e.g., FOA, BICSI, or equivalent).
- Extensive experience with fusion splicing, high-density fiber deployments, and hyperscale/AI/HPC data center environments.
- Technical knowledge of communication networks, different fiber types (single-mode, multi-mode, etc.), and associated systems.
- Background in data center greenfield construction or rapid deployment projects.
- Experience coordinating with general contractors and multi-trade teams in fast-paced builds.
- Proficiency with project documentation, digital tools, and quality assurance processes.
- Willingness and ability to travel extensively (typically 50-75% or more, depending on project needs) to SpaceXAI data center construction sites across the US, with potential for extended stays at project locations.
- Ability to work in tight quarters, at elevated heights (up to 50 feet with proper safety gear), and in active construction environments.
- Ability to lift up to 35lbs unassisted and maintain physical dexterity for installation tasks.
- Comfortable working in high-noise environments and varying weather conditions.
- Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and extended hours as dictated by project schedules and deadlines.
- Valid driver’s license and clean driving record (company vehicle or travel support provided).
Responsibilities
- Serve as crew leader for traveling fiber teams, managing daily work assignments, resource allocation, and execution based on Fiber Span sheets, site surveys, path planning, and cross-functional coordination.
- Lead and mentor a team of Fiber Technicians across multiple project sites, providing on-the-job training, technical guidance, and performance feedback.
- Oversee all phases of fiber optic installation projects from planning and mobilization through execution, testing, handover, and closeout at new data center builds.
- Ensure a safe, productive, high-quality, and compliant work environment in dynamic construction settings.
- Develop and monitor sensor indicators; conduct timely inspections and quality checks to prevent system issues.
- Troubleshoot, resolve, repair, and install complex fiber optics systems in both OSP and ISP environments.
- Lead fiber splicing (fusion and mechanical), termination, labeling, and certification activities.
- Examine, replace, and optimize faulty or aging fiber optic cables and infrastructure.
- Organize scheduled maintenance, testing routines, and documentation during build phases.
- Monitor signal strength, attenuation, and overall network performance; maintain detailed system records, as-built drawings, and designs.
- Coordinate closely with superintendents, project managers, other trades (electrical, mechanical, controls), and GC teams to align with overall data center construction schedules.
- Support site mobilization/demobilization, tool/equipment management, and knowledge transfer between projects.
