• Strong communication skills and a professional customer-service mindset
• Must have basic low-voltage tools, PPE, and reliable transportation
• Valid drivers license with a clean driving record

Compensation & Benefits:

• $20–$25 per hour, based on experience and technical capability
• Steady service-focused work with limited overnight travel
