I used to travel installing Optical Networking equipment, there's definitely demand there but it's brutal travel.
You could look into the big 3rd party providers Equinix, Digital Realty, etc, they often have some openings. The main thing to consider is they have some pretty crazy shift schedules. Lots of them 12 hours 3-4 days a week with nights etc.
I do like the term "organizational folklore" though. Actually properly documenting processes & expectations is important (and rare).
Most of the work in/around DCs is contract of some sort. Local structured cabling firms, electricians doing stints of various lengths, security, etc. Some of it good and lucrative, some of it not.
