RF/LTE Communications Systems Field Technician

Mission-driven work in the field—where reliability meets real-world conditions.

Location: Wichita, KS | Type: Contract | Compensation: $25–35 | Hours: 40 | Travel: Up to 100%

The mission

Imagine rolling up to a site where critical communications must go live by end of week. You map out rack placement, power distribution, and grounding. Fiber routes are planned, conduits measured, cable trays mounted. As hardware arrives—sensors, radios, computers, monitors, voice recorders—you integrate each component, verify pathways, and prepare for turn-up. When signals don’t look right, you rely on schematics and blueprints to diagnose fast, calibrating and repairing down to the component level. You validate through testing, inspections, and commissioning—and document every redline to leave the site better than you found it.

Your responsibilities

• Prepare sites and support contractor installation of communications racks (wall-mounted to multi-rack)
• Install critical power circuits, grounding systems, outlets, cable trays, conduits, and related infrastructure per engineering packages
• Support fiber optic cabling, telecom infrastructure, monitors, voice recorder systems, and communications equipment
• Assist with LTE antenna installation and establish cable pathways for communications infrastructure
• Remove/replace electrical components, wire bundles, terminal blocks, connectors, and hardware
