Inside a Spectrum Field Technician Career

There's a strong connection here

What is the job like? 

Our field technicians install and service connectivity products at customer homes and businesses. The role combines technical troubleshooting, physical work and customer communication. You will use hand tools, ladders and electronic diagnostic equipment, work outdoors in different conditions and may perform work at heights while following safety standards. 

Independent work, connected team 

You will typically travel to assigned jobs and complete work at customer locations. That creates day-to-day independence, but you will not work without support. Ride-alongs, trainers, supervisors, mentors and team resources are part of your preparation and ongoing work. 

Training, tools and safety 

We provide comprehensive paid training that can include classroom, field and safety instruction. Depending on the role, we provide a company vehicle and gas card, uniforms, personal protective equipment, and the hand and electronic tools needed for the work. After initial training, some technicians may start the day from home and drive the company vehicle to the first job. 

Schedules and growth 

Field technicians work assigned shifts and varying hours, including possible evenings and weekends based on business needs. Eligible technicians can use our field career self-progression model to build skills, complete coursework and assessments, and advance through defined levels. 

Is it a fit? 

This career may suit you if you are safety-focused, active, adaptable, comfortable with customers and motivated to solve technical problems. Review the posting for license, physical, schedule and location requirements.
