Specific Responsibilities Include:
- Rough-in of low voltage structured wiring of data/video/security: This is the primary and most specific responsibility. "Rough-in" refers to the initial phase of wring installation where wires are pulled through walls, ceilings, and floors before the drywall or finished surfaces are installed.
- Data: Ethernet cables for internet and network connections (Cat5e, Cat6, etc.)
- Video: Coaxial cables for cable TV, satellite, or CCTV cameras; potentially HDMI or other specialized video cables.
- Security: Wiring for alarm systems (door/window contacts, motion sensors), surveillance cameras, access control systems, etc.
- "Structured wiring" implies a planned, organized cabling system designed for future expansion and flexibility, often utilizing a central distribution panel.
- Position requires some heavy lifting, crawling, and other physically strenuous activities: This highlights the physical demands of the job. Technicians often need to:
- Lifting boxes of cable, tools, and equipment.
- Crawling in attics, crawl spaces, and tight wall cavities to pull wires.
- Work in awkward positions, climb ladders, and be on their feet for extended periods.
- Organizing their workspace, tools, and materials efficiently.
Experience:
An ideal candidate has experience in the following:
- Low voltage wiring: This is directly related to the "rough-in" responsibility and is the most crucial experience.
It means the candidate should have practical knowledge of how to:
- Pull and run various types of low voltage cables.
- Terminate cables (e.g., crimping RJ45 connectors for Ethernet, F-connectors for coaxial).
- Understand wiring diagrams and schematics.
- Troubleshoot basic wiring issues.
- Adhere to relevant codes and standards (e.g., NEC Article 800 for communications circuits).
- Basic construction skills: This indicates that the job may involve some light construction work, such as:
- Drilling holes through studs, joists, and fire blocks.
- Cutting and patching drywall (though often this is done by a dedicated drywaller, a basic understanding is helpful).
- Using hand and power tools safely and effectively.
- Understanding building structures to determine the best path for wiring.
Qualifications:
We are seeking reliable, highly organized, self-motivated individuals to add to our team. An ideal candidate is solid in time management, communication, decision making, and attention to details.
