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.

QA/QC Inspection & Verification

Conduct QA/QC inspections of network cabling projects to ensure compliance with industry standards, safety regulations, and customer requirements

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

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

Confined Space Certification

CPR and First Aid certification
