Key Responsibilities

Core Installation and Cabling Tasks

Your primary duties will revolve around the installation, routing, and termination of low voltage cabling systems, including Cat5e, Cat6, and fiber optics (a plus for advanced projects). You'll perform precise cable pulls through conduits, walls, and ceilings, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations. Accurate labeling and rigorous testing using industry-standard tools like Fluke testers will be essential to certify each run meets performance benchmarks.

Systems Deployment and Support

Expect to install and support a variety of low voltage systems: data and voice networks for seamless communication, CCTV security cameras for robust surveillance, access control systems like keycard readers and biometric locks, and Wi-Fi access points for reliable wireless coverage. You'll interpret complex blueprints, drawings, and floor plans to position equipment optimally, adapting to unique site layouts.

Testing, Troubleshooting, and Safety

Troubleshooting is key— you'll diagnose issues in cable runs, signal loss, or connectivity problems to deliver flawless results. Working at heights on ladders, scissor lifts, and aerial platforms in commercial settings requires agility and caution. Always prioritize safety by following OSHA standards, wearing PPE, and adhering to job site protocols.

Required Qualifications

To succeed, you need proven experience in low voltage cabling, particularly Cat5e/Cat6 installations, with fiber optics as a bonus. Proficiency reading blueprints and floor plans is non-negotiable, as is hands-on work with data/voice, CCTV, access control, and wireless systems. You must be comfortable in physically demanding roles, including ladder/lift work, and committed to safety best practices.
