• Blueprint Literacy: Read and interpret floor plans, riser diagrams, and reflected ceiling plans (RCPs) to ensure accurate device placement and pathway routing.
• Reporting: Submit a comprehensive End-of-Week Report to the Project Manager, detailing progress made, obstacles encountered, material needs, and man-hours used.
• Safety & Compliance: Ensure the crew adheres to all OSHA safety standards and site-specific PPE requirements for a high-rise construction environment.
• Material Management: Track inventory on-site and coordinate with the PM to ensure materials are staged and ready for the following week's work.

Required Qualifications

• Ability to troubleshoot cable runs and device connectivity.
• Leadership: Strong communication skills and the ability to command respect while maintaining a productive, positive team environment.
• Tools: Must possess a full set of basic hand tools and a reliable vehicle.
• Physical Requirements: Ability to climb ladders, work in high-rise environments under construction, and lift up to 50 lbs.
