Hickory, North Carolina, United States Buck's Communications Full time

Join the Fast-Growing Fiber Industry – Build a Career, Not Just a Job

Buck's Communications is hiring experienced Fiber Optic Installation Technicians to support our growing operations in Hickory and surrounding area of N.C.

In this role, you'll install, maintain, and troubleshoot Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) services for residential customers—delivering reliable, high-speed internet from the utility right-of-way into the home. You'll represent our team with professionalism and ensure a top-tier customer experience with every visit.

This role is an in-house W-2 position with benefits. We will provide modern, well maintained, fully equipped vehicles to our technicians with fuel cards and all required tools to successfully complete the job. You will be home garaged, meaning that you may drive our van home.

The FTTH Technician is responsible for ensuring reliable fiber connectivity between the terminal and the home by performing cross-connects at fiber hubs, laying temp drop, placing a NID or house boxes, entering the home to install the ONT, and connecting customer provided equipment. Client education is paramount

What We're Looking For

We're seeking motivated individuals who take pride in their work and are eager to learn. No fiber optic experience required—we train the right people.

Previous experience is a plus, especially in telecom, satellite, cabling, or electrical trades—but it's not required. We'll provide hands-on training for driven, reliable individuals ready to build a long-term career. Many of our best technicians have transitioned from industries such as Spectrum, Dish, DIRECTV, alarm systems, network cabling, HVAC, and electrical work.

What You'll Do

  • Install and service high-speed fiber internet in residential homes
  • Educate customers on their new equipment and services
  • Troubleshoot service issues using diagnostic tools and equipment
  • Work both indoors and outdoors in all seasons and environments
  • Operate independently in the field after training

Qualifications:

  • Strong customer service and communication skills
  • Mechanical or technical aptitude and interest in internet/telecom technology
  • Ability to use hand tools, test equipment, and follow technical instructions
  • Comfortable working in tight spaces and at heights
  • Valid driver's license with clean driving record
  • Ability to pass a background check and drug screening
  • Willingness to work flexible hours, including occasional evenings or weekends

What We Offer

  • Company Vehicle + Fuel Card
  • All Tools & Equipment Provided
  • Paid Training and Ongoing Career Development
  • Health, Dental, and Life Insurance
  • 401(k) with Company Match
  • Paid Time Off
