The role offers the potential for extended project duration, with work initially planned for several months and the possibility of continuing on long-term assignments.

**Work Environment**
You work on active construction and refurbishment sites for large-scale data centers, in an air-cooled atmosphere that can be cold during winter and often dusty due to ongoing construction activities.

The role involves living in hotels or camp-style accommodations with the crew, with travel to and from sites arranged via carpooling or buses.

Some shifts offer both Saturday and Sunday off, while others provide Sunday only, and overtime varies by shift.

You spend much of your time at a workstation or designated area, often seated and performing detailed tasks such as splicing cables, while also moving around the site to support installation and general labor activities.

The environment is construction-focused, with standard workwear appropriate for a construction site and the need for personal protective equipment as required by site safety policies.
