$25-$30 hourly 

Overview
Join a high-impact team where your technical expertise is put to work across diverse, real-world environments. As a Field Installation Technician, you’ll lead the deployment, installation, and troubleshooting of advanced technology solutions for clients nationwide. This role offers consistent travel, hands-on work, and exposure to large-scale projects across retail, restaurant, and commercial environments.

  • Execute low-voltage cabling installations:
    • Pull, route, and terminate Cat5e, Cat6, and fiber optic cabling
    • Test and validate connections using industry-standard tools
  • Conduct pre-installation site surveys to assess layout, identify risks, and ensure efficient execution
  • Partner with project managers, clients, and field teams to deliver projects on time and to spec
  • Maintain accurate documentation, including installation reports and project updates
  • Uphold safety standards and represent the company with professionalism at all customer sites
  • Manage and maintain tools, equipment, and materials in the field

What You Bring
  • Hands-on experience installing and supporting POS systems, networking equipment, and PC hardware
  • Strong background in low-voltage cabling (installation, termination, and testing)
  • Ability to read and interpret technical diagrams, blueprints, and schematics
  • Proven troubleshooting skills with the ability to work independently in the field
  • Experience working in commercial or industrial environments
  • Proficiency with hand and power tools
  • Strong communication skills and a customer-first mindset
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean record

What Sets You Apart
  • Certifications such as CompTIA A+, Network+, BICSI, or manufacturer-specific credentials
  • Experience with large-scale rollouts (retail, restaurant, distribution centers)
  • Knowledge of Windows/Linux systems and networking protocols
  • Low Voltage or Electrical licensing

Work Environment & Travel
  • ~85% travel across the U.S. with frequent overnight stays
  • Opportunity to work on varied, high-visibility projects nationwide
  • Occasional weekend work based on project timelines
  • Physical role requiring:
    • Lifting up to 75 lbs
    • Climbing ladders and working in active job sites
    • Operating scissor lifts and man lifts safely
