Now Installing Starlink Satellite Internet | DISH TV | Smart Home Technology


LinkUs is hiring Field Technicians to install Starlink satellite internet, DISH Network television, and connected home technology in residential homes across the region. Starlink is one of the fastest-growing broadband technologies in the country, powered by SpaceX - and our technicians are the ones installing it and connecting communities to next-generation internet.

  •  Able to use power tools including drills, impacts, and hand tools (or willing to learn)
