About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Low Voltage & Broadcast Installation Technician to support the buildout, integration, and maintenance of mission-critical broadcast systems. In this role, you will be responsible for routing and terminating low-voltage cabling, assembling equipment racks, mounting hardware according to rack elevations, and supporting technical turn-up across studios, control rooms, and technical operations centers (TOC).

If you take pride in clean cable management, precise rack integration, and working in dynamic, fast-paced live production environments, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

\n
• Cabling & Infrastructure: Route, pull, dress, and terminate low-voltage cabling (coaxial, Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6A, single/multi-mode fiber, analog/digital audio, and control lines) throughout studios, control rooms, equipment racks, and production spaces.
\n
• Rack Integration & Hardware Mounting: Install rack rails, blanking panels, patch panels, cable management bars, fiber enclosures, power distribution units (PDUs), and broadcast/AV/IT hardware according to engineering rack elevations.
\n
• Terminations & Testing: Terminate and certify connections including RJ45, BNC, XLR, and fiber connectors using multimeters, cable analyzers, tone generators, and continuity testers.
\n
• Schematics & Documentation: Read and interpret architectural floor plans, cable running lists, signal flow diagrams, and rack elevations. Apply port identifiers, asset tags, and power source labels per facility standards.
\n
• Commissioning Support: Assist systems engineers and vendors with initial equipment power-on, basic configuration, testing, signal verification, and acceptance workflows.
\n
• Decommissioning & Maintenance: Safely trace, remove, and document obsolete cabling and legacy equipment while preserving the integrity of active, on-air systems.

Qualifications & Experience

Required:

\n
• Experience: Minimum 2–3 years of hands-on low-voltage cabling, rack integration, or AV/broadcast systems installation in commercial, broadcast, data center, or live-event environments.
\n
• Technical Skills: Proven ability to terminate and test copper (RJ45), coaxial (BNC), audio (XLR), and fiber-optic cabling following industry bend-radius and pathway guidelines.
\n
• Blueprint Literacy: Demonstrated ability to read schematic drawings, rack elevations, and cable schedules.
\n
• Tool Proficiency: Solid working knowledge of industry hand/power tools, Fluke/cable certifiers, tone/probe kits, and multimeters.
\n
• Physical & Environmental Requirements:
\n
• Ability to lift, position, and mount equipment up to 50 lbs (team-lift procedures for heavier gear).
\n
• Comfortable climbing ladders, working in ceiling spaces, and navigating raised-floor environments.
\n
• Flexibility: Willingness to support scheduled maintenance windows, overnights, weekends, or holidays as dictated by live broadcast production schedules; travel as needed.

Preferred / Desired:

\n
• Associate degree or technical certification in Electronics, Telecommunications, Audio-Visual Technology, or Network Infrastructure.
\n
• Familiarity with broadcast video and audio routing standards (SDI, 3G/12G-SDI, AES, MADI, Dante, SMPTE ST 2110).
\n
• Working knowledge of basic IP networking concepts (Ethernet switches, subnets, VLANs, PoE).
\n
• Experience utilizing cable tracking software, CAD viewer tools, or asset-management platforms.
