Job description

Technician - Nationwide Travel (Low Voltage Projects)

$28-$38/hr DOE + Daily Per Diem + 100% Paid Travel

If you’re looking for a career that combines hands-on work, nationwide travel, and a pathway into the fast-growing low-voltage industry, this Technician role puts you right where the action is. You’ll support large-scale technology environments across the country, working on structured cabling and infrastructure that keeps modern data operations running.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who loves to travel, enjoys physical work, wants to learn a technical trade, and is excited about seeing new places while building a long-term career.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Drawing from the organization’s mission and values, you’ll be joining a team known for:

  • Supporting mission-critical technology environments across the U.S.

  • Delivering high-quality structured cabling, infrastructure, and technical services

  • Providing industry-leading training , mentorship, and growth opportunities

  • A culture built on teamwork, safety, craftsmanship, and continuous learning

You’ll work at major technology campuses nationwide, contributing to projects that support some of the world’s most advanced digital operations.

What You’ll Do

As a Traveling Technician, you’ll support low-voltage installation and infrastructure work across multiple U.S. sites. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Using basic hand tools and power tools to support cabling installation

  • Working on ladders, lifts, and in physically active environments

  • Assisting with installation of Cat6/Cat6A cabling, fiber, pathways, and hardware

  • Supporting layout, routing, labeling, and documentation

  • Reading or learning to read basic construction drawings and cable routing diagrams

  • Traveling 90-100% of the time to project sites nationwide (all travel costs covered)

  • Maintaining professionalism, safety, and communication while working with onsite teams

This role is perfect for someone who wants to build a technical career while gaining experience in large-scale data environments.

Requirements

  • Experience using basic hand tools and power tools (drills, snips, tape measures, etc.)

  • Strong interest in the low-voltage trade and willingness to learn

  • Ability to work on ladders, lifts, and in physically active environments

  • Ability to travel 90-100%

  • Valid driver’s license and clean driving record

  • Real ID or Passport (required for travel)

Preferred (Not Required) Qualifications

  • Exposure to low voltage, structured cabling, telecom, or electrical work

  • Familiarity with Cat6/Cat6A cabling, fiber optics, or patching

  • Experience reading basic construction drawings or cable routing diagrams

  • Prior work in data centers, warehouses, construction, or technical environments

Training is provided - if you bring the work ethic, they’ll teach you the trade.

Benefits & conditions

Because this is a traveling technician role , all hours worked outside of Oregon count toward your Oregon LEA Journeyman Certification - a major advantage for anyone pursuing licensing in the state.

If You’re Ready to Build a Career While Seeing the Country

This role is perfect for mechanically inclined candidates, early-career technicians, or anyone who wants to break into the low-voltage trade while gaining paid travel experience.
