LINX is hiring Low Voltage Technicians in the Salt Lake City, UT area to install, terminate, and test structured cabling on commercial construction projects, paying $20.00 to $29.00 an hour depending on tier and experience.
You won't be working the same building every week. LINX's Enterprise division runs cabling into corporate offices, hospitals, K-12 and higher education campuses, small data centers, and other commercial or industrial environments so the work stays varied and the skills you build transfer everywhere. If you already own your tools and know your way around a punch-down block, there's a clear, defined path here from Technician I through Technician III and beyond.
Where This Role Fits at LINX
Technician I → Technician II → Technician III → Lead Technician → Foreman → Superintendent → Project Manager → Senior Project Manager → Operations Manager.
