Engineering Electronics Technician

100% Travel

Summary

System One is seeking traveling Engineering Electronics Technicians to support telecommunications and FAA site infrastructure projects throughout Texas and surrounding states. Primary responsibilities include 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!

Important Details:

+  6-month contract opportunity to start (most likely will be temp-to-hire; depends on performance and workload)

+  Pay rate range: $28 - $40/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)

+

Work location:

100% field work in the southwest region (Texas and surrounding states)

+

Start date:

As soon as possible

+  Travel costs will be reimbursed at the government rate (GSA) based on the assigned duty location (project location). This typically includes travel costs (airfare, rental vehicle, personal vehicle mileage, etc.), lodging (hotel), and per diem (meals and incidental expenses). 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.

Our field staff are deployed for weeks at a time. These are 100% travel positions. Employees are reimbursed for all travel expenses, including weekends, at GSA rates.

Our intent is to have minimal downtime, but we do schedule opportunities for individuals to return home every six weeks on average for around a week. Given that there is ample overtime (10% - 20% is expected) during deployments, the total work hours typically are more than enough to cover any non-elective downtime.
