Full Time Telecom Tester Jobs in Chicago, IL (NOW HIRING)

Structured Cabling Technician (Low Voltage)
Full Time | $20.00–$39.00/hr | West Chicago, IL (95% local, occasional national travel)

About Superior
For years, Superior has been the company businesses call when they need it done right, not just done. Pull back the ceiling tiles in any building and you'll find the real story: miles of cable, all of it someone's handiwork, all of it either built to last or built to fail. Superior Communication Services is hiring a Structured Cabling Technician who builds it the first way. You'll be the one running copper and fiber through telecom rooms and risers on commercial jobsites across the country, work that doesn't show up on a tour but holds up everything that does.

From the cable plant behind a corporate campus to the network backbone running an entire facility, we've built our reputation one job at a time, on quality that speaks for itself. Every system we install has our name behind it, which is exactly why we're careful about who we bring in to build it.

If you take pride in a clean, tested install and you're ready for steady, varied work, we want to talk to you.

The Scope
Our cabling work spans telecom room buildouts, rack and stack, cable plant maintenance, and full install/terminate/test on copper and fiber. We work with product lines from Panduit, Legrand, CommScope, Belden, and Corning, on commercial and enterprise sites across the country.

On the Job
You'll rough in and terminate copper and fiber cabling, run pathway supports like J-hooks, ladder trays, and conduit, and build out telecom rooms and equipment closets: backboards, connecting blocks, racks, patch panels, and fiber enclosures. You'll test everything you install with certification equipment (Fluke DSX or equivalent) and troubleshoot cable plant issues in live commercial environments. No two jobsites look the same, and the work moves fast.

Who Does Well Here

• You know the difference between a bad termination and a bad test result, and you fix it before it becomes someone else's problem
• You're comfortable working independently once you know the scope of a job
• You care about clean cable management as much as a working connection
• You show up on time, every time, and you don't cut corners when nobody's watching

Worth Mentioning

• BICSI certification (RCDD, Installer 1/2, Technician)
• Fusion splicing experience
• Manufacturer certifications with Panduit, Legrand, CommScope, or Corning
• Background in sports team leadership. Plenty of our best techs were captains, coaches, or team leaders in competitive sports before they ever picked up a cable puller, and that same drive and accountability shows up in their work.

Why Techs Stay at Superior
We keep a steady pipeline of commercial and enterprise work, so you're never stuck doing the same job twice. We invest in training and certifications, and there's a real path from technician to foreman for people who want it. We back our field teams the same way we expect them to back their work.

The Bottom Line
If you want steady, varied work for a company that backs its people, we want to hear from you.
