• Demonstrated ability to configure and troubleshoot IP network devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and networked printers

Our business model is built around small to medium cabling projects, with technicians frequently working solo or as part of a small crew. The ability to work independently — including operating fiber optic test equipment, configuring IP devices, and delivering complete, documented results without assistance — is essential in this role. Applicants should be able to demonstrate use of all fiber optic splicing and testing equipment. We provide our customers with complex requirements and a full understanding of fiber optic theory and technical ability is required. Just as important is the ability to represent yourself and the company professionally — our technicians work directly inside customer facilities and are expected to communicate clearly, take initiative, and conduct themselves in a confident yet humble manner.

We are a proud team of professionals delivering the highest quality installations, service, and repair of network infrastructure in the Puget Sound region. Clearnet Communications has a reputation for consistently producing the best workmanship in the area. If your current employer isn't giving you the opportunity to use your skills, consider upgrading to us.

What We Offer:

• Take home a company truck and fuel it on a company card — no more paying for your commute
• Dispatched from home via VPN/company server — no daily office check-in required
• All truck stock (cable, connectors, panels, tools) provided by the company
• Work performed primarily indoors across commercial and industrial environments
• Medical & Dental Benefits
• HSA
• Paid Vacation
• 401k

We adhere to BICSI, TIA/EIA, NEC, and WAC standards and are proud of our reputation as a quality low-voltage contractor. If you are an experienced communications technician with real fiber optic and IP networking skills, and want to work with a team that takes real pride in what we do, we would love to hear from you.
