I'll try posting here one more time. Last time we received many responses, but the qualifications were limited. I want the right applicant to be very successful so I'll be as specific as I can. Please send your resume! We can train to an extent. Some of our people have general construction backgrounds but picked up the electrical along the way. Cable TV installers? Lets talk.
We are a high end A/V design and installation company. Picture a giant bowling alley, restraunt, bar, and family entertainment center. TVs, projectors, sound, and lights everywhere. We do that. We have a need for contractors with the ability to travel. Pulling wire, general hanging and rigging of TVs, speakers, CCTV cams, and running communication cable is 90% of the job.
Qualifications include :
Resume
Real ID or passport so you can fly
Major credit card - while we pay for hotels they always ask for a card when you arrive for incidentals. You'd be surprised how many people aren't ready for this.
Familiarity with CAT6 - and associated tools. Basic termination and testing.
Ability to work at heights with ladders and lifts of all types. 90% of our job is in indoor facilities where we drive lifts around.
General knowledge of electrical both AC/DC. Not a lot of AC but basic move a box from here to here. We run a lot of speaker wire. Do you know series vs parallel?
Ownership of general tools - impact, drill, bits, a few sockets, strippers, etc. One tool bag is generally enough. Southwest charges for that now and you have to pay the 65to ship a bag. Irritating. But we'll reimburse you for that.
Ability to spend extended periods on the road. Do a job and you typically fly to the next, to the next. And then sometimes you'll have a week of down time. But throughout most of the year we're swamped. Obviously if you need time off just let us know!
Ability to think creatively and build safe structures using typical strut bracing and hardware. Placing strut across beams and hanging fixtures off of those is typical.
ABILITY TO READ PLANS.
Ability to work professionally on a jobsite. If you get in a fight with the GC while you're there you're not helping.
Don't be drunk or high on the job. Why do we have to clarify this? Your down time is your down time but work is work.
Sometimes the facility is open for business, so we may have to work overnights instead. We hate it too and try to limit this.
Pay :
1099 - if you're not familiar with this I can help explain - but generally it's all 1099 and hourly straight pay no OT pay. Tons of hours available though.
Pay is commensurate with experience. This isn't a 15$/hr job we get that. what do you know? let's talk!
50/ day per diem
Hotels are paid for.
Biweekly reporting of hours and pay schedule.
I WELCOME QUESTIONS - it's a unique and interesting business
