Traveling Structured Cabling Technician

About Superior
For years, Superior has been the company businesses call when they need it done right, no matter where "there" is. From coast to coast, our traveling teams carry the same standard onto every site, which is exactly why clients trust us with locations they can't personally oversee. Every cable we run has our name behind it, wherever it ends up.

No Two Backbones Look the Same. Neither Does Your Week.

Airports. Data centers. Hospitals. Corporate campuses. Every one of them runs on a network somebody built by hand, and Superior Communication Services is hiring a Traveling Structured Cabling Technician to be that somebody. You'll pull copper and fiber through buildings most people never see the inside of, on jobsites that change every few weeks instead of never. If you'd rather build something new every month than maintain the same thing forever, this is the job.

The Scope
You'll run copper and fiber through telecom rooms, risers, and ceilings on commercial and enterprise jobsites nationwide, using product lines from Panduit, Legrand, CommScope, Belden, and Corning. Different building, different layout, different crew, every time, and you'll figure it out fast.

Who Does Well Here

• You can walk onto a brand new site and read the room, literally, in under an hour
• You don't need a familiar crew or a familiar building to do clean, tested work
• You manage your own time well on the road: hotels, per diem, flights, all of it
• You treat every install like your name's on it, because it is
• You genuinely like the travel, not just tolerate it

Worth Mentioning

• BICSI certification (RCDD, Installer 1/2, Technician)
• Fusion splicing experience
• Manufacturer certifications with Panduit, Legrand, CommScope, or Corning
• TSA PreCheck or Global Entry (makes the travel side easier)
• Background in sports team leadership. Plenty of our best traveling techs were captains, coaches, or team leaders in competitive sports, people used to performing in unfamiliar environments on short notice, which is exactly this job.

Why Traveling Techs Stay at Superior
Per diem, paid travel days, and a steady project pipeline that keeps you working instead of sitting around waiting for the next job. You'll see more of the country and more building types than a technician working one region ever will, and that range makes you sharper, not just busier. We also take the travel toll seriously: reasonable scheduling and real time off between long stretches.

The Bottom Line
If a new site next month sounds better than the same one for the next ten years, we want to hear from you.

Requirements

Requirements

• Experience installing structured cabling in commercial environments
• Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6A copper installation, termination, and testing
• Fiber optic installation, termination, and testing (OM/OS fiber types a plus)
• Ability to travel extensively, including extended stays away from home
• Comfort reading blueprints and riser diagrams on unfamiliar sites with minimal ramp-up time
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
• Ability to lift and carry equipment and work in tight spaces (ceilings, crawl spaces, closets)

On the Job
You land on-site, get oriented fast, and get to work: rough-ins, terminations, telecom room builds, backboards, racks, patch panels, fiber enclosures. You test everything with certification equipment (Fluke DSX or equivalent) before you leave, because there's no swinging back next week to fix it. Then you're on to the next site, the next building, the next backbone.
