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)?

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