Ethernet from ceiling to central location

I've been tasked with setting up a workstation in the middle of a production warehouse (think forklifts, pallets with 55 gal drums, etc). The computer and peripherals will be housed in a metal cabinet, and traditionally we'd run emt conduit to house and protect ethernet, but this workstation is going in the middle of an open space without any walls or structural elements to attach the emt to. The high voltage will be heavily insulated wiring hung from the 24' ceiling that will run straight down to the cabinet, but I'd prefer not to just zip tie the ethernet to that wiring due to interference risk, and I think emt is out of the question due to the cost of elaborate supports. What would you do in this scenario? Thanks in advance for the input!
