  • Splice fiber, including mechanical splicing
  • Build out ladder racks, IDFs, and MDFs
  • Label, trace, and verify cable connectivity using tone and volt meters
  • Read and interpret blueprints, wiring diagrams, and scope documents
  • Work safely on ladders and lifts in active environments, including schools, hospitals, and commercial buildings
  • Communicate clearly, represent the company professionally, and operate without the need for micromanagement
  • Set the tone for your crew through accountability and craftsmanship

Required Qualifications

  • Proven hands-on experience installing and troubleshooting access control, CCTV, and security camera systems
  • Familiarity with card readers, magnetic locks, motion sensors, and paging or talk-down speaker systems
  • Ability to troubleshoot low voltage wiring including Cat6 camera runs and 18/4 door hardware wiring
  • Experience with copper and fiber installs, splicing, closet builds, and IDF/MDF buildouts
  • Ability to read security and access control drawings and communicate system design to customers and field crews
  • OSHA 10 certification required
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record and reliable transportation
  • Comfortable working at heights and lifting or moving equipment; ability to become lift certified when required
  • Supervisor references required

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
