Low Voltage Technician

Employment Type: Part-Time to start. There is a strong advancement path to becoming a Full-Time employee and potentially a C-suite executive.

Department: Operations

We are growing and we are looking for an experienced Low Voltage Installation Technician to join our field installation team. Technovate is also willing to work with junior or partially experience candidates.

This position is ideal for those who have experience with Audio, Video, Smart Automation, Network, and Security. The ideal candidate will also have experience and understand how systems can and cannot come together. This is not a requirement of the position. However, it is a strong factor in the final decision. 

This is a hands-on Field Technician position. This is not an IT, help-desk, software or network administration role. Although Technovate does offer this as part of the business, that is NOT what this position is for. 

We’re looking for someone who understands and knows the trade, can work independently, and will take pride in doing world-class work. This is an opportunity for an experienced technician who is ready to join a company that is growing very fast! Technovate is willing to consider a novice technician. This will in turn be less in pay scale.

Technovate brings motivated, highly skilled, and creative people together to solve our client’s most dynamic problems with cutting-edge technology. To carry out our mission, we are seeking candidates who are excited to contribute to innovation, appreciate collaboration, and can anticipate the needs of others. Here at Technovate, we offer an environment in which our employees feel supported, and we encourage professional growth through various learning opportunities.
