  • Read and follow blueprints, schematics, and installation instructions guided by Leads or Project Managers.
  • Promote and model proper safety procedures, PPE usage, and site cleanliness.
  • Share daily updates with Project Leads and follow through on assigned responsibilities.
  • Develop knowledge of bonding, grounding, and fire‑stopping through mentorship.
  • Maintain a clean and professional work environment while managing tools and materials efficiently.
  • Be open to job‑site changes, short travel assignments, and varied schedules as needed.

Requirements

  • High School Diploma or GED (or equivalent experience).
  • Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
  • Ability to read basic diagrams and follow structured work instructions.
  • Background in commercial construction or entry‑level experience in cabling or low‑voltage systems preferred.
  • Willingness to learn technical knowledge and grow through on‑the‑job training.
  • Strong work ethic, punctuality, and ability to follow instructions consistently.
  • Comfort working with hand tools, various cable types, and installation processes.

  • On‑the‑job training and mentorship from experienced professionals, plus opportunities to build certifications.
  • Supportive, safety‑first team environment where your growth matters.
  • Pride in contributing to projects that integrate buildings and technology.

Schedule
