  • Estimate project cost and labor based on standards, historical benchmarks, and vendor data
  • Collaborate with Vendors, Subcontractors, and Myriad360 Partners for estimations, solutioning and project timelines

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Coordinate with Sales, Engineering, Delivery, and OEM partners throughout the solution lifecycle
  • Contribute to standardized documentation, pricing tools, and solution templates
  • Review SOWs and solution designs for quality, accuracy, and delivery alignment
  • Identify and escalate security risks to the appropriate Executive Leadership Team member and actively contribute to remediation efforts
  • Other duties as assigned

Desired skills and experience:

  • 5+ years of client facing experience
  • 7-10 years of experience in data center services, technical project leadership, and infrastructure solutions
  • Strong knowledge of data center structured cabling design, including:
  • Rack elevation planning, patch panel design, pathway/tray layout, and labeling standards
  • Horizontal/vertical cabling strategies (fiber and copper), MPO/MTP design considerations
  • BICSI-based implementation standards and cross-connect design
  • DCDC (Data Center Design Consultant) and/or RCDD (Registered Communications Distribution Designer) certification required or actively pursuing the certification.
  • Experience with tools such as Visio, Lucidchart, and quoting/estimation platforms
  • Background working in a systems integrator, VAR, or MSP
  • Familiarity with vendor ecosystems in networking, AV, security, and cloud infrastructure
  • Experience with structured cabling bill of materials (BoMs), take-offs, and cost estimation
  • Ability to create clear, detailed SOWs and level-of-effort (LOE) estimates

Safe Remote Job Search Tips

Verify Employer Thoroughly

Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.

Never Pay to Get a Job

Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.

Safeguard Your Personal Information

Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.

Scrutinize Communication & Interviews

Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.

Beware of Unrealistic Offers

If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.

Insist on a Formal Contract

Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
