Low Voltage Field Technician

RYC Business IT • Miami, FL

22d • Onsite

About The Position

We are looking for a skilled, dependable, and highly organized Low Voltage Field Technician to join our field operations team. We are not simply a low-voltage contractor. We are a full-service IT, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, and Technology Services company, which means this position offers considerably more room for technical growth than a traditional cabling or security technician role. The technician will work across structured cabling, fiber optics, access control, surveillance, relays, and related infrastructure while being exposed to the networking, IT, cybersecurity, and systems that ultimately sit on top of that infrastructure. For someone who wants to develop beyond installation work, there are significant opportunities for cross-training and advancement into networking, systems, cybersecurity, infrastructure engineering, project management, and other technical disciplines. This is a hands-on position for someone who takes pride in doing work correctly, cleanly, and thoughtfully. The ideal candidate is technically capable, mechanically inclined, self-managed, and comfortable working independently while also taking direction from senior technical leadership. This is not a position for someone who simply wants to “pull cable.” We are looking for a technician who thinks about the complete installation: how equipment will be mounted, how cables will be routed, how the system will be serviced five years from now, how the finished work will look, how the technology integrates with the rest of the environment, and whether the installation represents the quality of work we expect our customers to receive.
