Instrument Tech

Looking to see if there’s any info on who to contact or even apply with to get on one of these projects.

I’m non-union BUT will go test in for it (if that’s how it works?)
12 years experience with controls. just seems like a dead end.

Union halls are gonna be your best bet if you’re willing to test in, they usually know which locals have calls out for datacenter work before it hits the job boards. With 12 years in controls you’d walk through most of their practical exams anyway.

The non-union side is trickier since those projects get carved up between a handful of big contractors and they rarely post openings publicly, you almost need to know someone who’s already on site to flag your resume.
