Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is a high-impact field leadership role supporting a major broadband network upgrade initiative focused on next-generation connectivity. The position is centered on coax plant activation, balancing, troubleshooting, and field execution, with exposure to broader network upgrade work as needed. You’ll join a hands-on field environment where your technical knowledge and leadership directly support network performance, service quality, and successful project delivery. This is an excellent opportunity for a seasoned coax technician ready to take on greater responsibility while working alongside skilled field teams on large-scale infrastructure projects.
Overview
Our customer, a leading infrastructure services organization supporting large-scale broadband network deployments, is seeking an experienced Coax Splicer II to support a major outdoor coax network upgrade initiative in Minnesota. This role is part of an ongoing maintenance and improvement program focused on expanding high-speed network capabilities and improving plant performance.
The ideal candidate is a senior-level field technician with strong coax / HFC experience, a solid understanding of plant balancing and signal performance, and the ability to lead by example in the field. Exposure to fiber work is helpful, but fiber splicing is not required for success in this role.

Documentation & Quality Control
- Produce accurate, audit-ready field documentation
- Track completed work, issues identified, and corrective actions taken
- Ensure adherence to customer specifications, company procedures, and industry standards
Required Qualifications
- Minimum 3+ years of coax / HFC field experience
- Strong hands-on experience with coax splicing, plant activation, troubleshooting, and balancing
- Solid understanding of signal flow, amplification, and coax network performance principles, including amp balancing
- Experience troubleshooting complex field issues in live network environments
- Demonstrated leadership ability in crew-based or project-based field settings
- Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively with field teams and management
- Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions and physical field environments
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience leading field crews or mentoring junior technicians
- Experience working on large-scale broadband or HFC upgrade projects
- Exposure to fiber infrastructure, fiber testing, or fiber splicing work
- Training, familiarity, or prior support experience in both coax and fiber environments
Work Environment / Additional Information
- Field-based outdoor work environment
- Report daily to a designated facility
- Company vehicle provided for daily use (no take-home vehicle)
- Gas card provided
- Crew-based field operations; occasional shared transportation arrangements may occur
- Schedule typically includes an early morning start, with end times dependent on project progress, daylight, and weather conditions
