What does a satellite installer do?

As a satellite installer, you install and repair satellite dishes for customers. This involves reviewing installation orders, gathering equipment, coordinating schedules, creating wiring plans, installing cables, ensuring the customer's television can connect to the dish, and ensuring that the final result adheres to all telecommunications codes and regulations. Satellite installers often lift up to 75 pounds, climb ladders up to 40 feet high, navigate through tight spaces, work in various weather conditions, and use handheld electronics. At times, you may need to work with other contractors or the homeowner to get a dish installed correctly. Satellite installers usually work flexible schedules, including on evenings and weekends, to meet the needs of customers.
