Data Centre Technician – NV1 Cleared/Eligible

Ready to power the next wave of digital infrastructure? 

Alliance SI is looking for experienced and motivated Data Centre Technicians to join our team in Canberra, ACT, supporting high-profile telecommunications, data centre and secure infrastructure projects. Current NV1 clearance is highly regarded; candidates without NV1 must be willing and eligible to undertake the required clearance process where project requirements apply. 

You’ll work in modern, high-density data centre environments delivering the structured cabling and communications infrastructure that supports cloud, AI and critical digital infrastructure. 

This is a hands-on role for someone who takes pride in quality workmanship, enjoys working in technical environments and understands the importance of safety, accuracy and delivering to demanding project standards. 

What you’ll be doing 

• Installing and supporting structured cabling infrastructure, including Cat6A, fibre optics, MPO/MTP and associated systems. 
• Installing telecommunications equipment within racks, cabinets and data centre environments. 
• Completing fibre and copper cabling installation, termination, testing and associated works. 
• Working hands-on in clean, secure and high-density rack and cabinet environments. 
• Interpreting project scopes, specifications, drawings and work instructions. 
• Working closely with Project Managers, Supervisors and Operations teams to deliver projects safely and within required timeframes. 
• Communicating professionally with clients and other stakeholders on site. 
• Identifying technical or delivery issues and escalating them appropriately. 
• Maintaining a high standard of workmanship, presentation and site cleanliness. 
• Following all safety, quality and HSEQ requirements. 
• Supporting a positive, accountable and safety-first team culture.    

Who we’re hoping to meet 

You’ll ideally already have experience in data centres, structured cabling, telecommunications or a similar technical infrastructure environment. You’ll be comfortable working in highly controlled project environments where attention to detail, quality and compliance are critical. 

• Hands-on experience with structured cabling, copper and fibre-optic infrastructure. 
• A strong understanding of telecommunications cabling standards and industry practices. 
• Current ACMA registration, ideally with Structured, Coaxial and Fibre Optic endorsements. 
• Experience working with Cat6A, fibre, MPO/MTP and high-density cabling environments. 
• Strong safety awareness and attention to detail. 
• Good fault-finding and practical problem-solving skills. 
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a project team. 
• The ability to work under pressure and deliver quality outcomes within project timeframes. 
• A proactive, reliable and self-motivated approach.    

Security clearance 

Experience working within secure or highly controlled environments will be highly regarded. 

A current NV1 security clearance is highly regarded but is not mandatory. 

If you do not currently hold NV1 clearance, you will need to be willing and eligible to undertake the required security clearance process where project requirements require it. 

Licences & experience that will help you stand out 

• Current ACMA registration with Structured, Coaxial and Fibre Optic endorsements. 
• Previous data centre or hyperscale project experience. 
• Current NV1 security clearance. 
• Electrical licence or electrical trade background.

• Fibre testing, commissioning and fault-finding experience.    

What’s in it for you? 

• Permanent employment working on high-profile data centre, AI and cloud infrastructure projects. 
• Exposure to some of the most technically advanced infrastructure environments in the industry.
• Accrued 2 RDOs per month
• Company-provided uniform and PPE. 
• Ongoing personal and professional development through our Learn, Empower & Grow program. 
• Opportunities to develop your technical capability and progress your career.
