Job Description

LINX is hiring Low Voltage Technicians in Chantilly,VA 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.

What You'll Be Doing

Cable Installation & Termination

Install, terminate, and test structured cabling systems for CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a, fiber optic, and coaxial cable runs
Pull, suspend, fireproof, terminate, and test cable in accordance with BICSI standards, NEC, and local code

Closet & Rack Build-Out

Build and maintain MDFs and IDFs, including racks, patch panels, wire management systems, and network hardware
Troubleshoot low voltage cable systems and correct installation issues as they surface

Quality & Documentation

Document every installation for compliance with industry standards and project specifications
Deliver organized, professional workmanship that meets spec on every run

Site Professionalism & Customer Service

Communicate directly and professionally with site contacts to resolve technical issues and provide solutions
Deliver organized, high-quality workmanship on every installation to meet project specifications and exceed customer expectations
Travel to job sites within your home state as assigned, with occasional travel elsewhere in the country when project needs require it

Minimum Requirements

Required — Technician I (applies to all levels):

Able to work on ladders and use power tools; able to lift, carry, and set up a 50-pound box or ladder
Must own low voltage hand tools (snips, strippers, screwdrivers, wrenches)

Must pass a 7-year criminal background check, pre-employment drug screen, and physical
Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and current auto insurance

Required — Technician II (all Technician I requirements, plus):

1+ year of commercial low voltage installation experience
Able to terminate a jack, pull cable, and "work a 90" proficiently with limited supervision
Able to install, terminate, and test CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a, fiber optic, and coaxial cable proficiently
Able to build out MDF and IDF closets, including racks, patch panels, wire management, and network hardware with limited supervision

Able to terminate a jack, pull cable, and "work a 90" proficiently with no supervision
Able to install, terminate, and test CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a, fiber optic, and coaxial cable with no supervision
Able to build out MDF and IDF closets, including racks, patch panels, wire management, and network hardware with no supervision

This Role Is Probably Not Right For You If

You've never worked hands-on with structured cabling, and you're looking for an IT help desk or desktop support role instead
You need the same job site and the same routine every day, this work moves between offices, schools, and healthcare facilities
You'd rather work solo than as part of a crew — Team LINX means making each other better and winning together, not going it alone

Preferred (Not Required)

Commercial construction experience
BICSI Technician or Installer certification (Copper or Optical Fiber)
Powder Actuated Tools Certification
Confined Space Certification
CPR and First Aid certification
