Some Jobs Pay the Bills. This One Builds a Career. We're Looking for the Best.
Is that you?
No college degree required. No student debt. Just a paid apprenticeship, a real career, and the chance to build something with your hands that AI will never be able to replace.
Cypress Communication Systems is looking for an apprentice who wants to be exceptional.
We are a structured cabling and low-voltage contractor based in New Mexico, and we take our craft seriously. Our team installs voice, data, and security cabling infrastructure that keeps schools, businesses, and facilities running. It is precise work, physical work, and detail-oriented work.
Who thrives here:
The people who have built careers at Cypress share a few things in common. They sweat the details. They show up for their teammates and expect the same in return. They bounce back when a job gets hard. They have goals they are working toward. They take pride in doing things right the first time. They can laugh at themselves when they mess up and learn from it when they do. If that sounds like you, keep reading.
What you will do:
You will work side by side with our Lead Installers from day one, getting hands-on with every part of the job: pulling and terminating cable, installing hardware, and reading drawings. The knowledge that make a great technician only come from doing the work, and you will be doing it. Expect to be challenged, expect to grow, and eventually expect to be the one showing the next apprentice how it is done.

What we are looking for:

- Resilience, this work requires it
- A genuine desire to learn and grow in the trade
- A valid New Mexico driver's license

- Able to distinguish colors and read small print
