This particular posting is for a dual-role Cabling SME and DCLAN Planner position.

In the Cabling SME role, you will support Cabling requirements for the Enterprise Data Centers and various Campus Transformation projects throughout Southeast Michigan (i.e. opening new buildings, closing old buildings). You will also assist with providing ongoing support for Dearborn Fiber Network. The Cabling SME duties require onsite work at various locations (job sites) which could include Data Center platforms, Computer Rooms, MDF/IDF closets, tunnels, construction sites and locations in the public right-of-ways. It also involves desk work to maintain cabling records and provide cable mapping support for Planners.

In the DCLAN Planner role, you will coordinate planning activities for new network deployments or network refresh projects inside the Enterprise Data Centers that support various forms of Hosting and Storage infrastructure and ultimately global applications and their end-user experience. A good DCLAN Planner needs to be deeply familiar with the Enterprise Data Center environment, visiting the sites as needed. A solid working understanding of network technology and cabling is essential as well as the ability to coordinate all aspects of complex projects, technically and logistically, to deliver timely deployments. Solid communication skills are also essential to understand and translate Customer requirements into designs and set expectations for delivery and then successfully navigate the process to deliver the infrastructure on-time.
