Field Services
Cable Installation Technician
This is an entry-level cabling role for someone who can already tone, test and terminate Cat6 and wants to learn the rest of the trade. You'll pull and terminate commercial cable alongside experienced technicians, with a path toward installer and certified technician.
The job
This is where the trade starts. You'll work alongside our Network Installation and Physical Security Technicians on commercial jobs, pulling cable and keeping the site organized while you learn low-voltage and structured cabling work from people who are good at it.
You don't need years of commercial experience, but you do need the basics of the trade: toning a cable, testing a run and terminating Cat6 properly. Beyond that, what matters is showing up on time and taking care with work that will be inside walls for twenty years.
This is a full-time, non-exempt position reporting 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, or any construction, electrical or trade exposure, including school programs
- OSHA 10
Where it goes
This role is built to lead to the next one. The technicians you'll work under started somewhere like this, and the path runs from puller to installer to certified technician.
The installer role above you values fiber termination and BICSI certification, and we pay for the training that gets you there.
Working conditions
The work is field-based, in commercial buildings and on active construction sites. It involves ladders, lifts, confined spaces including crawl spaces and above ceilings, and extended standing, kneeling and overhead work.
Construction site conditions apply, including dust, noise and whatever temperature the building is that week. You'll drive to client sites across Northeast Ohio every day.
