- Review rack elevations, floor plans, cabling diagrams, network diagrams and installation drawings before and during work.
- Complete site-readiness checks across access, permits, delivery logistics, equipment storage, floor loading, available space, power and cooling.
- Coordinate receipt, inspection,



inventory and staging of racks, servers, switches, cabling and associated equipment; verify equipment against bills of materials.
- Coordinate with facilities, electrical, network, engineering and project teams to resolve dependencies and keep delivery moving.
- Verify installation quality, including grounding/bonding, PDU installation, power delivery, cooling and airflow requirements.
- Support equipment power-up, basic connectivity checks, link/port validation and initial testing where required.
- Manage installation QA, field changes and handover documentation, including as-built rack elevations, cable maps, port maps, serial-number records, photographs, checklists, test evidence and customer sign-off.
- Communicate clearly with onsite teams, project leadership and customer stakeholders.

What you’ll bring

- Proven experience as a Data Centre Foreman, Data Centre Site Supervisor, Installation Supervisor, Site Foreman, Data Centre Technician Team Lead, Deployment Engineer, Structured Cabling Supervisor, Telecommunications Supervisor, Critical Infrastructure Supervisor, or similar hands-on technical site-leadership role.
- Strong practical experience in data centres, critical infrastructure, colocation facilities, enterprise IT deployments, structured cabling or telecommunications infrastructure.




- Direct exposure to rack-and-stack, structured cabling, PDUs, UPS, grounding/bonding, cooling, airflow and data-centre installation standards.
- Experience leading crews or subcontractors and safely coordinating several parties working in parallel.
- Ability to interpret installation drawings, rack elevations, cabling diagrams and network diagrams.
- A safety-first approach, sound judgement under schedule pressure, and the confidence to stop or escalate non-compliant work.
- Strong organisation, documentation and communication skills.
- Ability to work onsite across Sydney data-centre locations and start at short notice.

Highly regarded

- Experience in live data-centre environments, recent builds, expansions, migrations, technology refreshes or commissioning.
- Familiarity with high-density infrastructure, facilities commissioning, cooling systems, building management systems, generators, UPS or critical-power environments.
- Experience with installation QA, as-built documentation, testing evidence and formal customer handover.
- Flexibility to work across a future 24/7 shift roster.
