  • Remotely monitor venues, troubleshooting issues, and coordinate subcontractor dispatch when necessary.
  • Build relationships with service providers to enhance system performance through data analysis.
  • Perform benchmark testing, RF site surveys, and create as-builts for new and existing venues.
  • Execute system modifications and additions, including DAS, Small Cell, and Wi-Fi equipment installations, rack stacking, and cable routing.
  • Work with hand and power tools, coaxial PPC compression tools, Cat5/6 terminations, and RF test equipment.
  • Maintain strong technical knowledge of wireless network products and ensure compliance with safety, business conduct, and quality assurance standards.

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience as a DAS or Cellular Field Engineer.
  • Familiarity with DAS OEMs (e.g., CommScope, JMA, Corning Mobile Access, SOLiD) and their performance benchmarks.
  • Experience managing subcontractors remotely across large regions.
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, RF schematics (iBwave / Ekahau), and blueprints.
  • Proficiency in updating reports and trouble tickets.
  • Physical ability to lift 50 lbs., work outdoors, on ladders, and in confined spaces.
  • Experience with electrical wiring, ESD products, and working in construction or installation environments with minimal supervision.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
