Job description

Pay: $20.00/hr (Tech I) to $29.00/hr (Tech III), depending on tier and experience

LINX is hiring Low Voltage Technicians in the Salt Lake City, UT area to install, terminate, and test structured cabling on commercial construction projects, paying $20.00 to $29.00 an hour depending on tier and experience.

You won't be working the same building every week. LINX's Enterprise division runs cabling into corporate offices, hospitals, K-12 and higher education campuses, small data centers, and other commercial or industrial environments so the work stays varied and the skills you build transfer everywhere. If you already own your tools and know your way around a punch-down block, there's a clear, defined path here from Technician I through Technician III and beyond.

Where This Role Fits at LINX

Technician I → Technician II → Technician III → Lead Technician → Foreman → Superintendent → Project Manager → Senior Project Manager → Operations Manager.

What You'll Be Doing

Cable Installation & Termination

• Install, terminate, and test structured cabling systems for CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a, fiber optic, and coaxial cable runs

Closet & Rack Build-Out

• Build and maintain MDFs and IDFs, including racks, patch panels, wire management systems, and network hardware
• Troubleshoot low voltage cable systems and correct installation issues as they surface

Quality & Documentation

• Document every installation for compliance with industry standards and project specifications
• Deliver organized, professional workmanship that meets spec on every run

Site Professionalism & Customer Service

• Communicate directly and professionally with site contacts to resolve technical issues and provide solutions
• Deliver organized, high-quality workmanship on every installation to meet project specifications and exceed customer expectations
• Travel to job sites within your home state as assigned, with occasional travel elsewhere in the country when project needs require it

Minimum Requirements

Required — Technician I (applies to all levels):

• Able to work on ladders and use power tools; able to lift, carry, and set up a 50-pound box or ladder
• Must own low voltage hand tools (snips, strippers, screwdrivers, wrenches)
• Available to work 2nd or 3rd shift, overtime, and under deadline pressure
• Must pass a 7-year criminal background check, pre-employment drug screen, and physical

• Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and current auto insurance
• Professional working proficiency in English, written and verbal

Required — Technician II (all Technician I requirements, plus):

• 1+ year of commercial low voltage installation experience
• Able to terminate a jack, pull cable, and "work a 90" proficiently with limited supervision
• Able to install, terminate, and test CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a, fiber optic, and coaxial cable proficiently
• Able to build out MDF and IDF closets, including racks, patch panels, wire management, and network hardware with limited supervision

Required — Technician III (all Technician II requirements, plus):

• 2+ years of commercial low voltage installation experience
• Able to terminate a jack, pull cable, and "work a 90" proficiently with no supervision
• Able to install, terminate, and test CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a, fiber optic, and coaxial cable with no supervision
• Able to build out MDF and IDF closets, including racks, patch panels, wire management, and network hardware with no supervision

This Role Is Probably Not Right For You If

• You've never worked hands-on with structured cabling, and you're looking for an IT help desk or desktop support role instead
• You need the same job site and the same routine every day, this work moves between offices, schools, and healthcare facilities
• You'd rather work solo than as part of a crew — Team LINX means making each other better and winning together, not going it alone

Preferred (Not Required)

• Commercial construction experience
• BICSI Technician or Installer certification (Copper or Optical Fiber)
• Powder Actuated Tools Certification
• Confined Space Certification

• 8 paid holidays
