• Site Supervision: Act as the primary technical point of contact on large-scale construction sites , overseeing installation crews and ensuring strict adherence to safety and quality standards.
• Field Engineering: Perform site surveys, signal testing (P25, DMR, Analog), and interference analysis to ensure 100% coverage and reliability.
• Leadership & Coordination: Coordinate with site foremen and project managers to keep deployments on schedule and within technical specifications.

Qualifications & Requirements

• LMR Expertise: 35+ years of hands-on experience with LMR/VHF/UHF systems. Proficiency with RF tools (wattmeters, service monitors, spectrum analyzers).
• Manufacturer Proficiency: Direct experience with Motorola, Tait, or Kenwood programming and hardware.
• Construction Experience: Proven ability to navigate and supervise work within active, large-scale construction environments.
• Travel Ready: Must be willing and able to travel up to 50% of the time for out-of-state project assignments.
• Physical Ability: Comfortable working on ladders, in crawl spaces, and in various weather conditions common to construction sites.
• Licensing: A valid drivers license and clean driving record are mandatory. (FCC GROL or CET certification is a major plus).

Benefits & Perks

We take care of the people who keep our world connected. Our comprehensive benefits package includes:

• Health & Wellness: Premium Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage for you and your family.
• Financial Security: 401(k) retirement plan with a generous company match and company-paid Life Insurance/AD&D.
