Lead Network Installation Technician

Field-based work in infrastructure and systems. Caltuck is hiring a Lead Network Installation Technician to take ownership of field deployments and lead on-site work.

This is a hands-on, field-first role. You will be working on active job sites installing, bringing online, and troubleshooting network systems. This is not a desk-based IT position.

We are looking for someone who can work independently, lead crews on-site, and take ownership of installations from start to finish.

What you will do

• Lead on-site installations and coordinate day-to-day field work
• Install and rack network equipment, including switches, routers, and patch panels
• Run, terminate, label, and test Cat5e/Cat6 cables
• Bring network systems online, including IP setup, connectivity testing, and basic configuration
• Deploy wireless systems, including Wi-Fi and point-to-point links
• Install and support IP camera systems and assist with access control
• Troubleshoot network, hardware, and connectivity issues in the field
• Maintain clean, organized job sites and ensure high-quality installations

Required qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on field experience in network or low-voltage installations
• Proven network experience installing and bringing systems online, not just cabling
• Field experience working on active job sites
• Experience leading or running jobs on-site
• Ability to perform basic network configuration, including IP addressing, VLANs, and device setup
• Strong troubleshooting ability across both physical and network layers
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of work

Preferred qualifications

• College or technical school education in IT, networking, or a related field
• Experience with routers, switches, cameras, door access systems, or similar equipment
• Experience with Ubiquiti, Cambium, MikroTik, or similar platforms
• Point-to-point or wireless deployment experience
• Fiber installation or termination experience

Important: This role requires prior experience in network installation, field work, and job-site leadership. Applicants without this background will not be considered.

Why work with us

• Relaxed culture, no micromanaging
• Respect for your skill and time
• Opportunities to grow with the company
• Hands-on field work with real ownership of projects
