Cable Technician

Structured Cabling | Networking | CCTV | Access Control | Long-Term Growth

Most cable technician jobs look the same.
Pull cable. Terminate cable. Move on to the next project.

This opportunity is different.

We're looking for a Cable Technician who wants to do more than just run CAT5 and CAT6 every day. You'll still use your structured cabling skills, but you'll also gain exposure to networking, IP cameras, access control systems, troubleshooting, and technology infrastructure that keeps entire facilities connected and secure.
If you're someone who's been looking for a way to expand your skillset and make yourself more valuable in the low-voltage and IT world, this is the type of opportunity that can help get you there.

What Makes This Role Different?

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

• 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

The next day you could be learning new technologies from experienced technicians while helping improve the systems that hundreds of people rely on every day.
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.

What You'll Be Doing

• 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

What We're Looking For

• 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
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team

Bonus Points For Experience With

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

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

Where This Can Lead

Many technicians reach a point where they want to move beyond basic cabling but aren't sure how to get the experience.
This role helps bridge that gap 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.
You like working with technology.
You don't mind being hands-on.
You want more responsibility, more knowledge, and more opportunity than a typical cable installation role can offer.
If that sounds like you, we'd love to speak with you.
Apply today and take the next step from cable technician to technology professional.
