Looking for a career that keeps you active, challenged, and outdoors? If you enjoy working with your hands, aren't afraid of heights, and have an interest in technology, Amplex is looking for a motivated Tower Technician to join our team. Whether your climbing experience comes from tower work, roofing, tree trimming, rock climbing, operating lifts, or simply being comfortable working off the ground, we'd love to hear from you.
As a Tower Technician, no two days are the same. You'll climb communication towers, install and maintain telecommunications equipment, and help keep communities connected all while working with an experienced team. Best of all, you're home every night with no overnight travel. You won't spend every day on a tower either; when you're not climbing, you'll be helping with ground-based projects, giving you a great mix of work while building a long-term career in the growing telecommunications industry.
