• Dress and manage cabling in racks using proper cable management practices
• Troubleshoot connectivity issues and verify link lights and port activity after cutover
• Pull new cable through ceilings, walls, conduit, and pathways when required
• Perform telecom closet cleanup and removal of abandoned cabling
• Coordinate with site contacts, project managers, and network teams to minimize downtime

Required Qualifications:
• 2+ years of experience in low voltage, structured cabling, or network installation
• Hands-on experience with switch swaps, rack buildouts, or IDF/MDF work
• Solid understanding of copper termination, testing, and labeling standards
• Experience reading port maps, rack elevations, and project drawings
• Familiarity with cable testers such as Fluke DSX or similar
• Fiber termination and testing experience preferred
• BICSI Installer or Technician certification a plus
• OSHA 10 preferred
• Own hand tools and PPE
• Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license
• Willing to travel to Sonoma as needed
• Able to lift 50 lbs and work on ladders
• Must pass a background check and drug screen
Benefits and Compensation:
• $25-32/hr depending on experience
• Weekly pay

• Consistent project work across multiple sites
• Opportunity for long-term placement based on performance
