Find work that moves your career forward

Kelly Digital Infrastructure recruits for technical and project roles in three areas: telecom, data centers, and AI, data and automation. Telecom roles include network engineers, telecommunications managers and fiber optic technicians, working across wireless and satellite, fiber and broadband, wireline networks and enterprise connectivity. Data center roles include data center technicians, project and commissioning engineers, and electrical and power infrastructure engineers, across design and build, program management, operations and deployment. AI, data and automation roles include PLC programmers, AI/ML specialists and robotics engineers. Work ranges from short contract assignments to long-term, permanent career moves.

It depends on the role, but many of the most filled positions do not need a college degree. Technician and critical facilities roles are mostly hired on hands-on experience, and people with electrical, mechanical, HVAC, military technical or IT hardware backgrounds often make the move well. Certifications usually count for more than degrees: BICSI for cabling and data center design, CompTIA at entry level, vendor certifications for network and cloud roles, and electrical licenses where the work is regulated. Engineering and design roles are the exception, and they normally expect a relevant degree.

Yes, and it is one of the most common routes into data center and telecom work. Many roles need the skills, trades, and technical careers already built, such as electrical, mechanical, HVAC, industrial maintenance, military technical, and IT hardware work. Through its workforce accelerator, Kelly Digital Infrastructure helps professionals build new skills, strengthen what they already know, and prepare for emerging roles with targeted, industry-aligned training. A recruiter can tell you which of your skills carry over and what, if anything, you would need to add.

On a contract role, Kelly employs you and assigns you to a client project for a set period, and your pay and support come through Kelly. On a permanent role, the client hires you directly. In this sector, contract work is not second best. Much of the commissioning, deployment, and fit-out work is project-based by nature, and moving between projects is how many engineers build the range of experience that senior roles ask for. Some contract assignments turn into permanent positions when both sides want that.

A Kelly Digital Infrastructure recruiter gets in touch to learn about your skills, experience, and long-term goals, usually over more than one conversation. They help you fine-tune your resume so it shows what sets you apart, talk you through the openings that fit, and submit your resume to the roles that match. When you land an interview, they brief you on what the hiring manager is looking for and how to present your experience. Once you accept a role, the Talent Care team is there to help with any questions.

No. There is no fee to job seekers for working with Kelly Digital Infrastructure, whether you are placed in a contract assignment or a permanent role. The hiring company pays for the recruiting service. Resume advice, interview preparation, and support after you start are all part of that service at no cost to you.

Support continues after you accept an offer. Kelly's Talent Care team gives dedicated support for any questions that come up once you start. If you are in a temporary or contract role, the team works ahead of your end date to help you find your next assignment, so you are not left looking on your own when a project ends.

Kelly works across all major U.S. markets, including Northern Virginia, Dallas-Fort Worth, Phoenix, Chicago, Atlanta, Silicon Valley, and the Pacific Northwest, and it supports projects globally. Telecom and infrastructure work is more spread out. Deployment programs create demand wherever a network build or funding award lands, which often means rural and secondary markets rather than big cities.
