  • Rack build-out and clean cable management
  • System programming and client handoff
Leadership & Client Experience
  • Supervise and mentor junior technicians
  • Maintain high installation standards and jobsite cleanliness
  • Communicate clearly and professionally with clients
  • Conduct system walkthroughs and training at project completion
  • Support service department with escalated troubleshooting when needed

  • Networking certifications (Ubiquiti, Araknis, Cisco, etc.)
  • Low-voltage or security licensing (as required by state)
What We’re Looking For
  • A leader who takes ownership of projects
  • Detail-oriented and quality-driven
  • Calm under pressure and solutions-focused
  • Professional and client-friendly
  • Passionate about technology and staying current with industry trends

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Performance bonuses
  • Company vehicle or vehicle allowance (if applicable)
  • Paid time off
  • Ongoing training and certification opportunities
  • Career growth into senior operations or technical leadership roles
