We pride ourselves on innovation, reliability, and exceptional service.

Brief Role Description

We are seeking a proactive and practical Network Rigging Technician to support our growing Location Internet service.

These systems include Starlink, 4G/5G routers, access points, switches, and associated cabling.

This is a hands–on role combining physical rigging with basic technical troubleshooting. It is ideal for someone who is practical, dependable, and has an interest in networking, AV, or live events.

Desirable but not essential
