100% Travel
System One is seeking 4 traveling Engineering Electronics Technicians to support telecommunications and FAA site infrastructure projects by preparing sites for rack installations, running power and fiber circuits, installing cabling and equipment (NVR, IPVCS, APC, LTE antennas), and supporting conduit and cable tray installations. The position also involves hands‑on electrical troubleshooting, component‑level repair and calibration of communication systems, documentation support, and coordinating performance verification to ensure systems are operational and inspection‑ready.
This is a great opportunity to join a respected government contractor in the engineering and construction services sector!
- 6‑month contract opportunity to start (most likely will be temp‑to‑hire; depends on performance and workload)
- Pay rate range: $25 - $35/hr salary will be commensurate with experience. Additional "Health & Wellness" rate: $4.93/hr (paid in addition to your hourly pay rate for the 1st 40 hours worked each week)

These are reimbursed at the published government (GSA) rates. These costs are authorized via a Travel Authorization that we would issue in advance of booking travel.
