Build a real career in networking — not just another technician job.

DakotaPro is hiring a Network Technician who wants to grow into advanced networking and infrastructure roles. You’ll work on real-world ISP and business networks (firewalls, wireless, VoIP, switching), while gaining exposure to modern tools including AI-assisted troubleshooting and workflows.

This is a hands‑on role combining field work, support, and infrastructure — ideal for someone who wants to accelerate their technical skills and move toward engineering‑level capability.

JOB DESCRIPTION

DakotaPro is seeking a Network Technician for a hands‑on role supporting business and ISP infrastructure. This position combines field work, customer support, and network operations.

This is not an entry‑level or siloed role. You will install, troubleshoot, and support real‑world networking systems while developing the skills needed to grow into more advanced technical positions.

• Install and maintain firewalls, switches, wireless radios, and VoIP systems
• Perform structured cabling and equipment installations
• Troubleshoot network and connectivity issues
• Support customers via phone and ticketing system
• Document work and contribute to internal knowledge
• Participate in on‑call rotation after training

• Wireless and fixed wireless ISP systems
• Firewalls and security appliances
• VoIP platforms
• Network monitoring and MSP tools
• AI-assisted troubleshooting and workflows

Why This Role

• Exposure to real production networks (not just helpdesk work)
• Direct mentorship and technical growth
• Hands‑on experience across multiple technologies
• Opportunity to build toward Network Engineer–level skills

Requirements

Required

• CompTIA Network+ or equivalent knowledge (CCNA even better)!
• 1–3 years of technical experience (IT, telecom, networking, or similar)
• Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving ability
• Mechanical aptitude and comfort with tools
• Clear written and verbal communication
• Valid driver’s license with good driving record
• Ability to pass background screening

Physical & Field Requirements

• Work safely at heights and on ladders
• Hike desert terrain carrying equipment (~2 km)
• Work outdoors in Southern Arizona conditions

Preferred (Not Required)

• Experience with MSP or ISP environments
• Familiarity with Ubiquiti, MikroTik, or Cisco
• Wireless or VoIP experience
• Cabling experience
• Strong desire to build a long-term career in networking

• Competitive pay based on experience
• Health insurance
• Paid Time Off and holidays
• 401(k)
• Technical training and certification support
• Company‑provided home internet (where available)

This role is ideal for someone who wants to move beyond basic IT work and build a serious career in networking, infrastructure, and modern technology.
