Low Voltage Wiring Technician

The Low Voltage Wiring Technician installs, terminates, labels, tests, and troubleshoots low-voltage cabling and related infrastructure within an active hospital environment. This role supports critical clinical and facility systems (e.g., nurse call, access control, CCTV, fire alarm interfaces, paging, BAS/controls, Wi Fi, and structured cabling) and may assist with related electrical installation tasks within scope (e.g., device power supplies, pathways/supports, and coordination with licensed electricians) while maintaining strict safety, infection-control, and patient-privacy requirements.

The technician coordinates work with Facilities, IT, Security, clinical stakeholders, and construction teams to minimize downtime and disruption to patient care.

• One or more years’ experience using test equipment (tone/probe, multimeter, cable certifier); ability to interpret results. (Required)
• One or more years’ experience with electrical concepts relevant to low-voltage systems (e.g., power supplies/transformers, grounding/bonding, circuit identification) and ability to work safely around electrical systems. (Required)
• One or more years’ experience reading basic construction drawings and following written installation standards and work orders. (Required)
• One or more years’ experience with applicable codes and requirements (e.g., NEC Article 725/800, fire stopping, pathway/support rules) while also following hospital-specific standards. (Required)
• One or more years’ experience working in an active hospital, including infection-control coordination (ICRA) and after-hours cutovers. (Preferred)
• One or more years Fiber optic splicing and testing experience (fusion splicing, OTDR/OLTS). (Preferred)
• One or more years’ experience with nurse call, access control, CCTV/VMS, paging/intercom, or BAS controls. (Preferred)
• One or more years’ experience installing pathways/supports (cable tray, conduit, innerduct) and coordinating electrical power drops with licensed electricians. (Preferred)
• One or more years’ experience with fire stopping methods and documentation. (Preferred)

• Certified Fiber Optic Specialist (CFOT) (Preferred)
• Certified Fiber Optic Technician (CFOT) (Preferred)
• State/local low-voltage or limited-energy license/registration (where required) or documented experience working under a licensed electrician on applicable tasks. (Preferred)
• OSHA 10 (Construction) or equivalent safety training. (Preferred)
• BICSI or technician certification. (Preferred)

• Install, route, secure, and support low-voltage cabling (Cat6/6A, fiber, coax, multi-conductor) in ceilings, walls, racks, conduits, and cable tray per code and hospital standards.
• Terminate and dress cables on patch panels, jacks, 66/110 blocks, fiber panels, and device endpoints; verify pinouts, polarity, and bend-radius requirements.
• Install and service devices and pathways for hospital systems such as nurse call, access control, CCTV, intercom/paging, clock systems, BAS controls, and other ELV infrastructure (as assigned).
• Perform testing and certification (e.g., Fluke/cable certifiers, OTDR/OLTS for fiber as applicable); document results and correct deficiencies.
• Troubleshoot faults (opens, shorts, grounds, intermittent issues, PoE problems) and coordinate repairs to restore service with minimal downtime.
• Assist with electrical installation tasks within role scope and facility policy, such as mounting backboards, racks, cabinets, and enclosures; installing innerduct, sleeves, and supports; and installing or replacing low-voltage power supplies/transformers.
• Install surface raceway and related fittings; assist with pathway work such as pulling in existing conduit and supporting conduit/cable tray work under direction of Facilities or licensed electricians (as required by jurisdiction).
• Support device power needs by installing receptacles or circuit extensions only when permitted by licensing and policy; otherwise coordinate power work…
