Résumé du poste

Intuit, Inc. seeks a skilled DAS Technician to support installation, testing, and commissioning of distributed antenna systems for clients in the Tampa area.

You will install head-end equipment, antennas, fiber/coax runs, coordinate with GC and carriers, and ensure safety compliance on active sites. The role involves field engineering, site surveys, documenting changes, and leading small installation crews to deliver completed projects on schedule and to design drawings.

Responsabilités

• Install DAS components alongside the crew: head-end equipment, antennas and passive devices, coax and fiber cabling, conduit where required, and donor antennas
• Take on the more technical installs yourself: head-end equipment, donor antennas, terminations, and grounding
• Ensure every antenna, device and cable is labeled to match the design and as-built drawings
• Take progress and closeout photos and log them in the project app as work is completed
• Red-line drawings with any field changes and report them to the technician or project manager the same day
• Keep equipment, materials and tools accounted for on site
• Perform benchmark and post-install RF grid testing (RSSI/RSRP and DAQ) with PCTEL and Motorola radar equipment, and produce pass/fail reports for the AHJ or carrier
• Sweep and PIM test coax and fiber runs; verify every antenna and passive device before closing ceilings
• Commission BDAs and DAS head ends: set gains, balance the system, verify uplink and downlink, and coordinate uplink optimization with the public safety radio system owner
• Bring Nextivity systems online in the WAVE Portal, set alarm policies and confirm remote monitoring
• Verify fire alarm supervisory signals with the fire alarm contractor and support AHJ final inspections
• Lead a crew of 1-3 installers: plan the day, assign work and keep the job on schedule
• Hold the crew to ATS install standards: junction boxes secured to the deck, saddle connectors and strap spacing on armored coax, EMT where the design requires it, labeling and grounding
• Walk and inspect completed work before testing; correct deficiencies on site
• Train and mentor installers toward the technician role
• Read iBwave designs, riser diagrams and permit drawings, and turn them into a field plan
• Perform site surveys and donor site analysis; confirm donor antenna location, isolation and mounting
• Identify field conflicts early, propose fixes and red-line the drawings for as-builts
• Diagnose cabling, connector, interference and hardware problems and resolve them
• Perform annual BDA tests and cellular performance checks under maintenance contracts
• Respond to service calls and alarms on monitored systems
• Coordinate daily with the GC, electrical contractor, fire alarm contractor and building staff
• Serve as the on-site contact for carriers, public safety agencies and AHJ inspectors
• Deliver closeout packages: test reports, photos, as-built red-lines and commissioning records
• Enforce OSHA and site safety rules for the crew, including lifts, roofs, confined spaces and PPE
• Work safely on lifts, ladders and roofs and in confined spaces; follow OSHA and site-specific rules, including PPE
• Keep work areas clean and protect finishes in occupied buildings
