• 1–3 years of commercial low-voltage or structured cabling experience
• Proficiency with cable pulling, routing, and termination
• Familiarity with TIA/EIA wiring standards
• Comfortable using hand tools and basic power tools
• Ability to read basic prints/layouts is a plus
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record
