LINX is hiring a Low Voltage Quality and Training Specialist to own QA/QC for fiber and copper cabling installations on hyperscale data center projects, paying $25.00 to $40.00 an hour. You'll inspect completed work against BICSI and TIA/EIA standards, catch and correct problems before they become the customer's problem and train the crews doing the installing.
This is a hands-on quality role, not a desk audit job. Daily activities include: job-site inspections, pre- and post-installation quality checks, and direct crew supervision and mentoring on structured cabling best practices.
Where This Role Fits at LINX
Technician / Lead Technician → Quality and Training Specialist → Senior Quality and Training Specialist → Quality and Training Manager → Director of Quality and Training
What You'll Be Doing
QA/QC Inspection & Verification
- Conduct QA/QC inspections of network cabling projects to ensure compliance with industry standards, safety regulations, and customer requirements
- Perform job site inspections, report findings, and verify project scopes, including materials, equipment, and labor
- Conduct pre- and post-installation quality checks to validate cable connections, terminations, and overall system functionality, identifying and resolving defects or deficiencies
Crew Supervision & Corrective Action
- Supervise and guide cabling crews, ensuring efficiency and high-quality workmanship
- Collaborate with project managers to address deviations and recommend corrective actions
Quality Systems & Documentation
- Develop and implement quality control procedures, guidelines, and checklists; maintain detailed documentation of inspections and project progress
Training & Mentorship
- Train and mentor junior QC personnel to enhance skills and knowledge
Client & Stakeholder Communication
- Communicate with clients and stakeholders on quality concerns and project updates
- Participate in project meetings and stay current with industry best practices, standards, and emerging technologies
Minimum Requirements
- 3-5 years of experience in network cabling, including fiber and copper installations
- Strong knowledge of industry standards (TIA/EIA, BICSI) and quality assurance processes
- Proficiency with cable testing tools, including Fluke DSX-600/8000 cable certifiers
- Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills
- Ability to work in various conditions, including confined spaces and heights
- Ability to lift, carry, and set up a 50-pound box or ladder
- Must own a complete set of personal low voltage hand tools (snips, strippers, screwdrivers, wrenches)
- Available to work 2nd or 3rd shift, overtime, and under deadline pressure
- Available for 100% travel to project sites nationwide (all travel expenses covered)
- Must pass a 7-year criminal background check, pre-employment drug screen, and physical
- Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and current auto insurance
- Professional working proficiency in English, written and verbal
This Role Is Probably Not Right For You If
- You've never done hands-on fiber or copper cabling installation, this isn't an entry point for classroom trainers or office-based QA/compliance staff without field experience
- You'd rather keep installing than start inspecting, correcting, and teaching other people's work
- You're not comfortable pointing out a mistake to the same crew you work alongside every day
- You're not comfortable being on the road constantly — this is a 100% travel position with typical trips home about once a month while a project is active
Preferred
- BICSI Technician or Installer certification, Copper or Optical Fiber
- OSHA 10
- Powder Actuated Tools Certification
- Confined Space Certification
- CPR and First Aid certification
- Manufacturer certifications for installation and maintenance (Fluke, Fujikura, Sumitomo, Corning, Hilti)
