We’re looking for a motivated, dependable Level 1 Cable Installer to join our IT infrastructure team. This role is ideal for someone looking to start a career in structured cabling and network installation. You’ll work alongside experienced technicians to install, route, and terminate low-voltage cabling in commercial and industrial environments.

If someone just wants a paycheck, they won’t last here. This role requires attention to detail, willingness to learn, and the ability to work in physically demanding environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist with installation of structured cabling systems (Cat5e, Cat6, fiber optic)
• Pull, route, and secure cable through ceilings, walls, and conduit
• Label and organize cables according to company and client standards
• Assist with cable terminations, testing, and troubleshooting
• Read and follow basic blueprints, floor plans, and schematics
• Maintain a clean and safe work environment on job sites
• Use hand tools, power tools, and testing equipment properly
• Follow all safety guidelines and OSHA requirements
• Communicate effectively with team members and supervisors

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
• Ability to lift 50+ lbs and work on ladders or lifts
• Comfortable working in construction-like environments (dust, noise, tight spaces)
• Basic understanding of tools and willingness to learn technical skills
• Strong work ethic and reliability (showing up on time is non-negotiable)

Preferred Qualifications (Not Required)

• Previous construction, electrical, or low-voltage experience
• Basic knowledge of networking concepts
• Experience with cable termination or testing tools
• OSHA 10 certification

Skills & Attributes That Matter

• Attention to detail (bad cable work = expensive problems later)
• Coachability (you’ll be trained, but you need to absorb it)
• Team-oriented mindset
• Problem-solving ability
• Strong communication skills

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive hourly wage based on experience
• Overtime opportunities
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off and holidays
• Career growth opportunities into Level 2/3 Technician roles

Career Path

This isn’t a dead-end role. High performers can quickly move into:

• Level 2 Installer
• Lead Technician
• Network Technician
• Project Supervisor
