About The Position

Strata Networks is hiring a Wireless Network Field Technician to help build, maintain, and improve our LTE and IP-based wireless network across rural Utah. This is a hands-on, mid-level technical role for someone who enjoys solving problems in the field, learning new technologies, and taking ownership of network performance. You’ll be part of a small, capable wireless team that keeps thousands of customers connected every day. WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY DO This is not a narrow “one-tool” job. You’ll work across the LTE ecosystem—radio, transport, fiber, and IP—depending on what the network needs. Your work will include: Installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting LTE/5G base stations, routers, switches, fiber backhaul, and DC power systems Monitoring network health using alarms, KPIs, and testing tools—and fixing issues before customers notice Bringing new sites and services online, including configuring routers, switches, VLANs, QoS, and basic routing Troubleshooting RF paths, antennas, fiber, and IP connectivity using tools like spectrum analyzers, OTDRs, Wireshark, and traceroute Responding to network events, outages, and on-call issues with clear communication and solid technical judgment Working closely with the core network team, NOC, and vendors to resolve issues and improve performance Keeping sites clean, documented, and operating safely Mentoring junior technicians as you grow in the role Because this is a rural network with a lean team, adaptability matters. You’ll sometimes step outside a narrow job description to help keep the network stable—especially during emergencies or severe weather events. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR You don’t need to know everything on day one—but you do need strong fundamentals and a willingness to learn. WHY STRATA You’ll work on a real production network, with real responsibility, alongside people who value reliability, teamwork, and learning. If you want a role where your work directly impacts customers—and you don’t mind getting your boots dirty—this is worth a conversation.
