Field Communications Infrastructure Technician

Location: Wichita, KS | Type: Contract | Compensation: $25–35 | Hours: 40

Your day in the field

Picture this: you arrive on site, review the engineering package, and map out how the communications racks will come together—sometimes wall-mounted, sometimes a full multi-rack build. You lay in critical power and grounding, set cable trays and conduits, and prepare every pathway so installation runs smoothly. As the day unfolds, you might route and terminate fiber, place telecom cabling, mount LTE antennas, or install sensors, radios, computers, and supporting communications systems—often in fast-paced, outdoor environments where the weather can change quickly.

When systems power up, your troubleshooting instincts take over. Using schematics, wiring diagrams, blueprints, and technical manuals, you test, align, calibrate, and repair communications and audio equipment—down to the component level when needed. You support testing, verification, inspections, and commissioning until every system performs as designed. Along the way, you keep field documentation sharp with redline updates, and you tackle additional installation and technical support tasks as assigned.

What you’ll tackle

• Prepare sites and assist contractors with communications rack installation (single wall-mounted to multi-rack setups)
• Install critical power circuits, grounding, convenience outlets, cable trays, conduits, and related infrastructure per engineered drawings
• Support fiber optic cabling, telecom infrastructure, monitors, voice recorder systems, and other communications equipment
• Assist with LTE antenna activities and establish cable pathways for communications infrastructure
• Remove and replace electrical components, wire bundles, terminal blocks, connectors, and associated hardware
• Test and troubleshoot electrical/electronic systems using schematics, wiring diagrams, blueprints, and technical publications
• Troubleshoot, align, calibrate, and repair communications and audio systems down to the component level
• Support testing, operational verification, inspections, and commissioning to confirm full functionality
• Install sensors, radios, computers, cabling, and comms systems in dynamic field conditions and varying weather
• Maintain accurate field documentation and redline updates during construction and install
• Take on additional field installation and technical support duties as assigned

• Willingness and ability to travel up to 100%
• Ability to lift at least 50 lbs and work outdoors, including in extreme weather
