Universal Systems is hiring a Network & Low Voltage Technician for our Installation & Infrastructure team in Salt Lake City. You'll work at client locations across Utah and the U.S., installing the cabling, network equipment, computer systems, and physical security devices that support their daily operations. Projects range from new office buildouts to multi-site rollouts.

This is a hands-on field role for someone who already has practical experience in both low-voltage installation and network configuration. You should be comfortable running a smaller installation independently, troubleshooting common problems, and seeing the work through to testing, documentation, and client handoff. You'll coordinate with the USI team when you need support and communicate clearly when a site condition or technical issue needs attention.

• Location: Based at USI's Salt Lake City headquarters, with work at client sites

• Employment type: Full-time, salaried

• Compensation: $60,000–$70,000 per year, depending on experience

• Travel: Up to approximately 50%, including multi-day trips across Utah and other states. Typical overnight trips run 2–4 nights, with most weekends at home. Travel expenses and a per diem are covered.

What you'll do

• Install, terminate, label, and test Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A cabling in offices, warehouses, and other commercial environments.

• Install and configure video surveillance, access control, and other PoE devices, including Verkada, UniFi Protect, and UniFi Access systems.

• Independently complete smaller installations, coordinate site activities with clients and contractors, and keep the USI team informed of progress and issues.

• Troubleshoot cabling, connectivity, and device configuration problems, bringing in additional technical support when needed.

• Work safely from ladders and scissor lifts to install cameras, access points, and cabling pathways.

• Create and update network and site diagrams in Microsoft Visio.

• Complete as-built documentation, cable labels, site photos, and project close-out packages so clients and support teams have an accurate record of the installation.

• Load, transport, and unload tools and equipment, and leave work areas clean and organized.

• Represent USI professionally and communicate clearly with client staff, contractors, and coworkers.

What you'll bring

• At least two years of relevant hands-on experience in low-voltage installation, including Category cable termination and testing.

• Practical experience installing, configuring, and troubleshooting network equipment. You should bring an established networking foundation to the role.

• The ability to take a smaller installation from assigned scope through completion and handoff without continuous supervision.

• Good judgment about when to troubleshoot independently and when to ask for help or escalate an issue.

• Careful workmanship, consistent labeling and documentation habits, and attention to job-site safety.

• A professional, customer-facing approach and the ability to coordinate effectively with other trades.

• Working knowledge of Microsoft Visio, or the ability to learn it quickly.

• Comfort working at heights on ladders and scissor lifts, and the ability to lift and move equipment weighing up to 70 pounds.

• A current, valid driver's license and the ability to travel by road and commercial air, including meeting applicable airport security requirements.
