Field Services
Cable Installation Technician
The start of the trade, but not the start from zero: you can already tone, test, and terminate Cat6, and you want to learn the rest. Pull and terminate commercial cable alongside experienced technicians, on a real path from cabler to installer to certified technician.
The job
This is where the trade starts. You work alongside our Network Installation and Physical Security Technicians on commercial jobs: pulling cable, keeping the site organized, and learning low voltage work from people who are good at it.
You do not need years of commercial experience, but you do need the basics of the trade: toning a cable, testing a run, and terminating Cat6 properly. What matters beyond that is showing up on time, taking care with work that will be inside walls for twenty years, and wanting to learn a trade that pays better every year you are in it.
Full-time and non-exempt. Reports to the Field Services Manager.
What you would be doing
- Pull Cat6, Cat6A, and fiber through commercial buildings, under the direction of a technician
- Tone, test, and terminate Cat6 runs, to a standard a certifier will pass
- Label both ends of everything, every time, to our standard
- Stage material, load the van, and keep the job site clean enough to hand to the client
- Drill, sleeve, and firestop penetrations the way the inspector expects to find them
- Learn fiber work, certification testing, rack builds, and commissioning as you earn it
What we are looking for
Required
- The ability to tone, test, and terminate Cat6, and to show us on a bench in the interview
- A valid driver's license and reliable transportation
- Comfort with ladders, lifts, crawl spaces, and attics, and the ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds
- The care to label wire nobody will see and clean up a site nobody will inspect
- Legal authorization to work in the U.S. without sponsorship
Preferred
- Commercial or residential low voltage exposure beyond the bench basics
- Any construction, electrical, or trade exposure, including school programs
- OSHA 10
Where it goes
This role exists to feed the next one. The technicians you work under started somewhere like this, and the path from puller to installer to certified technician is real here: the installer role above you values fiber termination and BICSI certification, and we pay for the training that gets you there.
Working conditions
Field based, in commercial buildings and on active construction sites. Ladders, lifts, confined spaces including crawl spaces and above ceilings, and extended standing, kneeling, and overhead work. Construction site conditions, including dust, noise, and whatever temperature the building is that week. Daily driving to client sites across Northeast Ohio.
What everybody here gets
These come with the job, whichever job it is.
Health insurance
A group medical plan, with the company paying 50 percent of your premium. Dependents can be added at group rates.
Direct Primary Care
On top of the plan, the company pays for a membership with a primary care practice. Routine care means calling your doctor, not starting a claim.
401(k) matching
The company matches the first 3 percent of your pay dollar for dollar, then half of the next 2 percent. Put in 5 percent and the company puts in 4.
Paid time off
PTO accrues every pay period, and the rate grows with your length of service. Up to 80 hours carries into the next year.
Ten paid holidays
Six company holidays, plus four floating days a year that you choose and your supervisor schedules.
Paid weekly
Payday is every Friday, by direct deposit, for the week before. Most of this industry pays twice a month.
A schedule with some give
Eight hours inside an 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. window with a full hour for lunch. Eight to five and nine to six are both normal, and other shifts get approved.
Training and certification
Certifications paid for and time made for them, plus leadership tracks and internships.
Bereavement leave
Three paid days for an immediate family member, and one paid day for an extended family member, somebody you were close to, or a pet.
Mileage and expenses
Approved travel is reimbursed on a submitted log, and business expenses on itemized receipts. Your commute is not travel, and nobody pretends otherwise.
Donation matching
Give to a cause you care about and the company gives alongside you. What you support is yours to choose.
Referral program
Rewards for referrals, for everybody on the payroll rather than only the people in sales.
