Satellite TV Installer/Technician - Dallas, TX

DIRECTV is the premier satellite provider in the country – and we’re one of the companies that install it for them.

 

We’re MasTec Advanced Technologies and we’re looking for Satellite Installation Techs to install, service and upgrade DIRECTV satellite systems. This is a great opportunity to put your experience in computers, electrical, maintenance, cable, military and customer service to work for a great company.

 

In this role, sometimes you’re the ‘make it happen’ tech who gets families and businesses up and running with all the TV they love – up to 285+ channels. Some days you’re the ‘save the day’ tech, fixing the system if things go wrong and bringing the TV back (this is especially critical on game days or season finales). And on other days, you’re the ‘rainmaker’ tech, upgrading customers’ systems to maximize their DIRECTV experience. Seriously, you’re pretty much a hero.

 

At MasTec, our most successful Installation Techs have these four things in common:

 

They are customer service-driven:  

  • They are friendly, approachable and comfortable meeting new people and can talk to just about anyone

  • They have solid communication skills

  • They are “likeable experts” who deliver a good service experience for customers

     

    They are hands-on:  

  • They enjoy the variety of assignments from site surveys to equipment installation to troubleshooting

  • Ladders and power tools are their version of a desk and office supplies

  • They’re resourceful multi-taskers and problem solvers who will do what it takes to troubleshoot issues (this is where the ‘save the day’ part comes in)

     

    They are tech-savvy:  

  • They have the know-how and persistence to troubleshoot technical system issues

  • They like to learn new technologies

  • They’ll ensure a quality satellite connection

  • They know their way around a Galaxy smart phone

     

    They are self-motivated:  

  • They like making multiple customer visits per day because they’re motivated by the pay-per-job model control your own pay

  • They’re at their best when working on their own and setting their own schedule

  • They represent DIRECTV and MasTec with integrity, professionalism and friendly service

  • They take full advantage of the $500 in monthly perks (free DIRECTV, company van, apparel, phone – more on that later)?

     

    Does this sound like you? If so, we invite you to apply to MasTec today. Here, we work hard to set you up for success. Here’s what’s in store for you at MasTec:

  • Competitive wages

  • Five weeks of training: 2 weeks classroom training and 3 weeks field training

  • Free DIRECTV for your own home

  • High-quality tools to get you started

  • Company-paid Galaxy Note 4 smart phone for business

  • DIRECTV uniform, van and gas card

  • Full medical, dental and vision benefits

  • 401(k) with a company match that’s 100% vested (that’s free money)

  • Paid time off

  • Highly independent work environment and uncapped income potential

  • 80% of our Managers started as Techs – and there is a clear promotion path to Field Technician Supervisor and Site Manager.

     

    Essential Responsibilities (a.k.a. A day in the life of a MasTec Satellite Installation Tech):

     

    Serving customers.  

    You’ll coordinate schedules with customers, review their order and begin the installation. Once the system is installed, you’ll give customers a tour of their DIRECTV system to make the most of their new or upgraded service.

     

    Installing the DIRECTV technology.  

    You’ll conduct site surveys to determine the best positioning of the equipment for strongest signal reception and formulate the wiring plan. You’ll place the mounts, dishes and receivers to ensure satellite connectivity.

     

    Troubleshooting.  

    If things go wrong, you’ll diagnose the issues, make repairs and replace or upgrade components – and get the TV back for customers.

     

    Qualifications:

    Yes, there are some requirements. You must:

  • Be able to lift 80 pounds and climb 40-foot ladders

  • Be able to meet the 300 lb weight restrictions of our ladders (including approximately 25 lbs in a tool belt) to comply with OSHA and our Company safety standards

  • Have a valid driver’s license

  • Pass a pre-employment drug test, criminal background check and MVR (driving record) check

  • Be able to work a flexible schedule that includes weekends or evenings

  • Have basic computer skills

  • A high school diploma or equivalent; college or technical school a plus
