Job description
Join a high-impact team where your technical expertise is put to work across diverse, real-world environments. As a Field Installation Technician, you’ll lead the deployment, installation, and troubleshooting of advanced technology solutions for clients nationwide. This role offers consistent travel, hands-on work, and exposure to large-scale projects across retail, restaurant, and commercial environments.
What You’ll Do
- Install, configure, and troubleshoot:
- POS systems
- Network infrastructure (routers, switches, wireless access points)
- PCs, peripherals, and related hardware
- Execute low-voltage cabling installations:
- Pull, route, and terminate Cat5e, Cat6, and fiber optic cabling
- Test and validate connections using industry-standard tools
- Conduct pre-installation site surveys to assess layout, identify risks, and ensure efficient execution
- Partner with project managers, clients, and field teams to deliver projects on time and to spec
- Maintain accurate documentation, including installation reports and project updates
- Uphold safety standards and represent the company with professionalism at all customer sites
- Manage and maintain tools, equipment, and materials in the field
Requirements
- Hands-on experience installing and supporting POS systems, networking equipment, and PC hardware
- Strong background in low-voltage cabling (installation, termination, and testing)
- Ability to read and interpret technical diagrams, blueprints, and schematics
- Proven troubleshooting skills with the ability to work independently in the field
- Experience working in commercial or industrial environments
- Proficiency with hand and power tools
- Strong communication skills and a customer-first mindset
- Valid driver’s license with a clean record
What Sets You Apart
- Certifications such as CompTIA A+, Network+, BICSI, or manufacturer-specific credentials
- Experience with large-scale rollouts (retail, restaurant, distribution centers)
- Knowledge of Windows/Linux systems and networking protocols
- Low Voltage or Electrical licensing
Benefits & conditions
- ~85% travel across the U.S. with frequent overnight stays
- Opportunity to work on varied, high-visibility projects nationwide
- Occasional weekend work based on project timelines
- Physical role requiring:
- Lifting up to 75 lbs
- Climbing ladders and working in active job sites
- Operating scissor lifts and man lifts safely
Why This Role Stands Out
- Consistent travel with exposure to diverse industries and technologies
- Hands-on work with modern infrastructure and systems
- Opportunity to build advanced technical skills in a fast-paced environment
- Work alongside experienced teams on large-scale deployments
