Location: Thiruvallur, Tamil Nadu

Availability: Immediate Joiner

Position: Full Time

Role Overview

We are seeking a seasoned Data Center Infrastructure Technician to lead the physical deployment, integration, and commissioning of mission-critical IT hardware for an upcoming enterprise data center build-out in Thiruvallur. In this high-impact, short-term role, you will execute end-to-end rack-and-stack operations, precision structured cabling, and out-of-band (OOB) management validation in strict compliance with Tier-III/IV data center standards and OEM best practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Hardware Logistics & Intake Verification: Manage the receipt, physical inspection, and staging of inbound enterprise IT shipments (servers, core/edge switches, storage arrays, PDUs). Reconcile physical deliveries against Bills of Materials (BOM) and Purchase Orders, documenting any transit damages or discrepancies immediately.
• Precision Rack-and-Stack Execution: Execute physical mounting, rail installation, and hardware placement across high-density server cabinets in strict alignment with rack elevation diagrams, thermal containment guidelines, and weight distribution standards.
• Structured Cabling & Power Integration: Install, route, dress, and terminate redundant AC/DC power cables and structured copper/fiber patch cords (Cat6A, OM4/OS2 fiber) following strict bend-radius, cable-management, and labeling protocols.
• Out-of-Band (OOB) & Remote Commissioning: Configure initial management IP parameters and validate remote console access across enterprise platforms (HPE iLO, Dell iDRAC, Cisco CIMC, and serial console servers) to guarantee seamless remote handover to L2/L3 engineering teams.
• Asset Governance & Quality Assurance: Maintain zero-defect Configuration Management Database (CMDB) records by capturing serial numbers, MAC addresses, and physical U-locations. Conduct rigorous pre-handover quality audits and drive rapid closure of physical snags.
• Safety & Compliance: Adhere strictly to data center EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) standards, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protocols, and physical security clearance procedures.

Required Qualifications & Technical Competencies

• Experience: 3–5+ years of proven, hands-on experience in enterprise data center operations, greenfield infrastructure builds, and large-scale hardware deployments.
• OEM Hardware Mastery: Deep familiarity with rack mounting, hardware architecture, and installation guidelines for Tier-1 OEMs (Dell EMC, HPE, Cisco, Lenovo, Arista, Juniper).
• Cabling & Power Proficiency: Demonstrated expertise in high-density structured cabling, fiber optic handling/cleaning, cable management best practices, and redundant power distribution (A/B feed verification).
• Remote Management Validation: Practical experience troubleshooting and verifying OOB interfaces (iLO, iDRAC, CIMC, IPMI) and basic physical layer link status (link lights, SFP seating, port mapping).
• Documentation & Tooling: High proficiency in reading rack elevation schematics, port-mapping matrices, and updating inventory trackers (Excel/DCIM tools) with extreme attention to detail.

Preferred Certifications (Bonus)

• CompTIA Server+ or Network+
• BICSI Data Center Design Consultant (DCDC) or Installer credentials
• Certified Data Centre Technician (CDCT)
