Mount and wire small IoT hardware (low-voltage, dry contact wiring, etc.)
Follow install guides and technical diagrams with precision

Post-Install Setup & Testing

Test device functionality and confirm proper installation with the support team
Document all installs, flag any issues, and provide visual verification (photos, notes)
Capture signage placement and access system updates

Customer & Internal Coordination

Act as the on-site liaison for property managers during deployments
Assist with signage logistics, enforcement setup, and scheduling
Support internal teams (support, sales, product) with field-based tasks

Escalation & On-Call Support (Occasional/Optional)

Be available (occasionally) for off-hours support for escalations or field emergencies
Troubleshoot hardware issues either remotely or in the field

What We’re Looking For

Required

Reliable transportation and valid driver’s license (travel within Chicagoland)
Comfortable with hand tools (e.g., drill, screwdriver, wire stripper)
Tech-literate: can follow diagrams, scan QR codes, understand basic wiring
Strong communicator and collaborator
Calm under pressure and resourceful in the field
Detail-oriented with good documentation habits (photos, notes, checklists)

Nice to Have

Experience with low-voltage wiring, networking, or IoT/smart device installations
Previous roles in field tech, property management, facilities, or security systems
Familiarity with mobile/web apps for documentation or coordination

Work Style & Schedule

Flexible hours depending on installation schedule
Hybrid: remote coordination, in-office prep, and on-site work
Occasional evening or weekend availability for planned or urgent installs

Compensation & Perks

Competitive hourly or salaried compensation (based on experience)
Mileage reimbursement for travel
All tools and training provided
Clear path to grow into full-time ops or project management roles
