Description

Are you experienced in structured cabling, fibre testing, and quality assurance within mission-critical environments? We are looking for a Data Center Cabling QA/QC Technician to support a high-profile data center project.

As a Data Center Cabling QA/QC Technician, your scope will cover the following:

1. Port-to-Port Validation -

• Physically trace and verify each comms path from source port to destination port within the assigned zone;
• Confirm physical port labelling matches build documentation at both ends;
• Test all fibre links for polarity (MPO/MTP Tx to Rx alignment), insertion loss within specification, and physical continuity;
• Test copper paths (if present) for continuity, wiremap, length, and insertion loss per TIA-568 Cat6A or equivalent

2. Fault Identification & Logging -

• Log all faults against port ID — categories include: mispatch, polarity reversal, high insertion loss, physical damage, missing or incorrect labelling;
• Photograph fault evidence per QA requirements

3. Rectification -

• In-pair rectification: re-patching, label correction, connector re-seat, polarity swap at patch panel — re-test immediately after;
• Escalated rectification (re-termination, trunk replacement, re-route): flag to shift lead and site supervisor — do not proceed without sign-off

4. Shift Handover & Documentation -

• Shift handover report per shift: zones completed, pass/fail count, open faults, escalated items;
• Test records maintained for all validated ports — tester ID, timestamp, result;
• Final validated port schedule submitted to at programme completion

Requirements

• Diploma in Electrical / Electronics / Telecommunications / IT Engineering or equivalent technical certification. (Candidates with strong hands-on data centre cabling experience will be considered in lieu of formal qualifications).
• Experienced in high-density fibre structured cabling in data centre environments.
• Competent with MPO/MTP fibre testing — polarity verification and insertion loss
• Familiar with 400G/800G fibre AI infrastructure — GPU rack connectivity, switch fabric
• Able to read patch schedules, rack elevation drawings, and port labelling conventions
• Capable of autonomous pair operation with field decision-making authority
• Data centre safety induction compliant — enclosed spaces, live adjacency, ESD awareness
• Able to carry out night shift duties
