- Install and integrate low-voltage systems: structured cabling (data/voice/video), racks/cabinets, patch panels, and cabling for CCTV, access control, intrusion, and fire alarm interfaces.
- Troubleshoot complex copper and fiber issues (faults, cross-talk, interference, performance problems) using certifiers, OTDR, and other test equipment.
- Support commissioning and close-out with testing, documentation, and punch-list resolution.
- Perform basic to intermediate programming for access control, CCTV/NVR systems, and fire alarm/intrusion panels within company guidelines.
- Help with small-scale design and layout (mark up floor plans/risers, suggest routes and device placement, assist with rough BOMs).
- Lead Level I/II techs on site, manage daily start-up/wrap-up, and coordinate with GCs, site contacts, and other trades.
- Model safe work practices and reinforce BICSI/TIA/EIA/NEC low-voltage standards.
What We’re Looking For
- 2–5+ years of low-voltage installation experience (structured cabling plus at least one of: access control, CCTV, intrusion, or fire alarm integration).
- Expert skills installing copper (Cat5e/Cat6), coax, and fiber; racks/cabinets; patch panels; and cable management.
- Proven advanced troubleshooting ability for cabling and connectivity issues.
- Experience with basic/intermediate programming on common low-voltage/security platforms.
- Familiarity with BICSI best practices, TIA/EIA standards, and local/national low-voltage codes.
- Able to lead small crews, communicate clearly with customers and teammates, and keep work organized and on schedule.
- Comfortable with frequent standing, bending, ladder/lift work, lifting 40–50 lbs, and working on active construction sites; willing to work overtime/nights/weekends as needed.
- Willing and able to travel occasionally to customer sites outside the immediate Clarksville area based on project and client needs.
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation to our company's office.
- BICSI Installer I/II and manufacturer certifications (S2, Fire-Lite, Potter, Paxton, Milestone, etc.) are a plus.
