Wireless Field Team Lead / LTE Foreman

Locations - Austin & Sacramento

At Alpha Omega Wireless, we build the infrastructure that keeps the world connected. We're looking for a Foreman / Team Lead who doesn't just manage work—they do the work, make the calls, and keep projects moving forward.

This isn't a desk job. It's a hands‑on leadership role where you'll spend 80% of your time working alongside your crew—climbing towers, pulling cable, aligning antennas—and 20% making sure the job gets done right, on time, and on budget.

What You'll Do

Lead the Job

Make real-time decisions on‑site to keep projects on track.

Coordinate a crew of 2–4 wireless technicians and ensure daily tasks are executed efficiently.

Communicate progress to project managers (morning, afternoon, end‑of‑day check‑ins).

Represent the company professionally when clients are on‑site.

Execute the Work

Install, align, and optimize wireless systems (microwave P2P, FWA, LTE/5G).

Mount and align antennas, pull cable, handle DC power, and work with mounting hardware.

Perform basic radio programming (frequencies, IP addresses, security settings, Ethernet configurations).

Climb towers, work on rooftops, and operate aerial lifts safely.

Maintain Quality & Safety

Act as on‑site Quality Control—inspect work and ensure it meets company and manufacturer standards.

Lead daily safety tailgate meetings and enforce 100% adherence to safety protocols.

Document installations (photos, screen captures, serial numbers) and upload to project folders.

Solve Problems on the Fly

Adapt to unique site challenges (access issues, weather, equipment failures).

Troubleshoot RF and IP networking issues in the field.

Keep projects within 10% of allocated time while maintaining quality.

Who We're Looking For

You're a Natural Leader Who Gets Things Done

You don't wait for permission—you make the call and report up.

You see the path forward and drive the crew toward it.

You're comfortable being the decision‑maker when the situation demands it.

You Move Fast and Keep Momentum

You thrive in fast‑paced, time‑sensitive environments.

You don't overthink—you assess, decide, and act.

Deadlines energize you, not stress you out.

You're Task‑Focused and Efficient

You communicate clearly and directly—no fluff, just what's needed.

You value getting it done right over endless discussion.

You're comfortable working independently and don't need constant check‑ins.

You Balance Speed with Quality

You know when to move quickly and when to slow down for precision.

You catch errors before they become costly rework.

You take pride in delivering work that holds up.

Requirements

Experience:

Minimum 4 years hands‑on wireless installation (tower climbing, antenna alignment, cable pulling).

Minimum 1 year in a lead or foreman role (or demonstrated leadership ability).

Experience with LTE/5G, microwave P2P, or FWA broadband systems preferred.

Technical Skills:

Basic RF and IP networking knowledge.

Ability to program radios (frequencies, IPs, Ethernet settings).

Comfortable using a laptop for documentation and project management tools (Trello, Microsoft Teams).

Certifications & Safety:

Tower climbing certification (or willingness to obtain).

Valid driver's license and clean driving record.

Personal safety equipment and 100% adherence to company safety policies.

Physical Demands:

Climb towers and work on rooftops in varying weather conditions.

Lift and handle heavy steel mounting hardware.

Work outdoors in a hard hat and work boots environment.

We're not just hiring project based supervisors. We're building long‑term careers. Whether you want to become a master craftsman or grow into a Project Manager, Construction Manager or Operations role, we'll invest in your development.
