• Occasionally perform installation-related tasks (terminations, mounting, cable work, etc.).
• Interface directly with clients and ensure a high level of customer satisfaction.
• Maintain detailed documentation, test results, and project notes.
• Participate in an on-call rotation as required.
• Adhere to job-site safety standards and maintain a clean, organized workspace.

Preferred Qualifications and Traits

• Adherence to OSHA, CE, and customer-specific safety protocols.
• Ability to maintain organized work areas and accurate tool/equipment inventory.
• DAS OEM certifications are a plus.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook).
• Strong communication skills with both internal teams and external stakeholders.
• Collaborative, team-oriented mindset.

Work Environment

• Monday-Friday schedule, typically 7:00 AM-3:00 PM, depending on client needs.
• Some work may occur during maintenance windows.
• Participation in an on-call rotation (approximately one week per month). Calls are infrequent and compensated with additional pay.
• Take-home vehicle provided; clean driving record required.
• Primary coverage area is MD, DC, and VA (90%) with occasional travel to other states (approximately 10%).
