Join Our Data Center Installation Team
Extreme Technology & Security is looking for an experienced Lead Structured Cabling Technician to join our team for a long-term data center construction project in Red Oak, Texas.
This is a hands-on leadership position for someone who knows structured cabling, can work productively in a construction environment, and is comfortable coordinating the work of a small field crew.
You will lead a two-person installation team while working alongside the crew to complete large-volume cable installation. The work will primarily involve pulling, routing, identifying, labeling, and dressing low-voltage and structured cabling within existing pathways.
This is a dedicated data center project with a consistent weekday schedule—not a service-call position.
Project Overview
- Long-term assignment at a data center construction project in Red Oak
- Monday–Friday work schedule
- Approximately 40 hours per week
- Existing cable trays, raceways, and pathways will be in place before cabling begins
- No conduit installation required
- Fiber splicing is not a primary responsibility
- Installation work will be performed using construction drawings, plans, and cable schedules
- Employees must provide their own transportation to and from the jobsite
- Interviews are conducted at our Weatherford, Texas office
Your Role
As the lead technician, you'll be responsible for helping the crew maintain production, organization, safety, and installation quality.
Your day-to-day work may include:

- Reviewing drawings, cable schedules, and project documentation
- Pulling large quantities of low-voltage and structured cabling
- Routing cable through existing trays and pathways
- Maintaining clean, organized cable runs
- Dressing and securing cable to project standards
- Applying accurate cable identification and labels
- Inspecting completed work for quality and consistency
- Reporting progress, material needs, and field issues to management
- Keeping work areas orderly and productive
- Following project specifications and company installation procedures
- Enforcing site safety requirements within the crew
- Helping ensure the team stays on schedule without sacrificing workmanship
QualificationsRequired Experience
- Minimum 3 years of structured cabling or low-voltage installation experience
- Ability to interpret construction drawings, plans, and cable schedules
- Experience with high-volume cable pulling and installation
- Experience routing and dressing structured cabling
- Strong organizational and attention-to-detail skills
- Ability to work independently and make sound decisions in the field
- Dependable transportation to the Red Oak project
- Valid driver's license
- Ability to pass a background check
Experience That Is a Plus
- Previous lead technician or crew-lead experience
- Commercial construction experience
- Data center cabling experience
- Experience on large-scale structured cabling projects
- Basic networking knowledge
- Experience operating lifts or other construction equipment
Safety Requirements
Safety and professional jobsite conduct are essential to this position.
Our crews follow a Ladders Last approach, using lifts and scaffolding whenever practical and appropriate.
Employees must be prepared to comply with all site-specific safety procedures and maintain the required PPE, including:
- Hard hat
- Safety glasses
- High-visibility vest
- Work boots
All required site safety training must be completed and maintained throughout the project.
What You Can Expect
This position offers the opportunity to work on a substantial data center installation while developing both technical and leadership experience.
You can expect:
- A long-term project assignment
- A predictable Monday–Friday schedule
- Hands-on leadership experience
- A professional commercial construction environment
- A strong focus on safety and quality
- The opportunity to work on large-scale technology infrastructure
- Potential advancement as your skills and responsibilities grow
- Additional commercial low-voltage opportunities when available
Technicians who perform well and demonstrate leadership ability may have opportunities to progress into roles such as Crew Lead, Field Supervisor, or Project Manager.
If you're available before the Red Oak project gets underway, other commercial low-voltage projects may also be available throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

Eligible employees may receive benefits following 90 days of employment, including:
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- Paid holidays
