You'll gain exposure to networking, IP cameras, access control systems, troubleshooting, and technology infrastructure that keeps entire facilities connected and secure.

Instead of working on a single construction project or repetitive cable installation job, you'll support a wide variety of technology systems and infrastructure, including:

  • Testing and troubleshooting network drops
  • Tracking down connectivity issues
  • Supporting camera system upgrades
  • Assisting with access control installations
  • Working inside network closets
  • Tracing cable runs and documenting infrastructure

This role provides exposure to multiple areas of technology, making it an excellent next step for cable technicians who want to continue growing their careers.

  • Pulling, patching, terminating, and testing CAT5/CAT6 cabling
  • Troubleshooting structured cabling and connectivity issues
  • Working with faceplate assignments, cable drawings, and network closet layouts
  • Using cable testers, toners, and diagnostic tools
  • Supporting IP camera installations and maintenance
  • Assisting with access control systems
  • Performing preventative maintenance on technology infrastructure
  • Supporting network-connected devices and equipment
  • Documenting work and maintaining installation standards

Requirements

  • Experience pulling, terminating, patching, and testing CAT5/CAT6 cable
  • Ability to troubleshoot cabling issues from end to end
  • Experience working in network closets
  • Comfortable using computers and basic networking tools
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Reliable and self-motivated

Skills

Bonus Points For Experience With:

  • CCTV / IP Camera Systems
  • Access Control Systems
  • Network Switches
  • Command Prompt
  • Device Troubleshooting
  • IoT Devices

If you have strong cabling experience but haven't worked with cameras or access control systems yet, training is available.

Career Growth

This role helps bridge the gap for technicians who want to move beyond basic cabling by providing exposure to:

  • Structured Cabling
  • Layer 1 Network Infrastructure
  • IP-Based Devices
  • CCTV Systems
  • Access Control Technologies
  • Basic Networking Concepts
  • Troubleshooting Methodologies

Ideal Candidate

You enjoy solving problems, working with technology, and being hands-on. You want more responsibility, knowledge, and opportunity than a typical cable installation role can offer.

Pay

The pay range for this position is $25.50 - $30.00/hr.
