Join the crew
ERA is building its field roster now. If you can splice, pull, terminate or climb — or you are close and genuinely willing to learn — there is a place to start here.
Open roles
Who we are looking for
W-2 and 1099 subcontract arrangements are both on the table. Tell us which you want.
-
Fiber splicers
Single-mode and ribbon. Comfortable in a closure, a vault or a bucket, and able to read your own OTDR trace.
-
Aerial & OSP crews
Strand, lashing, pole hardware and overlash. Bucket experience and a clean driving record matter here.
-
FTTH installers
Drops, NIDs, ONTs and in-home wiring. Customer-facing work, so how you leave a house matters.
-
Data center techs
Patching, trunking, dressing and labelling. Precision and patience count for more than speed.
-
Low-voltage & camera techs
Cat6A, PoE, NVR and access control. Networking knowledge is a real advantage.
-
Apprentices
No experience but willing to learn on a real crew. Say so on the form — we mean it, and several good techs start exactly here.
What we offer
Straight answers about the work
We would rather tell you the real conditions now than have you quit in three weeks.
This is field work. Some of it is outdoors in bad weather, some is overnight in a data center, and restoration calls come at inconvenient hours. In exchange, the work is skilled, it is in demand, and it pays accordingly once you are good at it.
- Pro-grade splicers, OTDRs, cleavers and PPE provided on company work
- Steady scheduling — we tell you what next week looks like
- Training on real jobs for people who show up and pay attention
- W-2 or 1099 subcontract, your preference
- English, Spanish or Russian on site
On a real crew
Nobody starts knowing everything
Most good techs in this trade started by pulling cable for somebody who had been doing it for years. If you are willing to pay attention, there is a place on a crew to learn it properly.

In the field
What this work looks like
Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own tools?
Not for W-2 company work — splicers, OTDRs, cleavers and PPE are provided. Subcontractors who bring their own calibrated gear are welcome and it is reflected in the rate. Hand tools you are expected to have either way.
I have no fiber experience. Should I apply?
Yes, if you are genuinely willing to learn and reliable about showing up. Pulling cable and helping an experienced splicer is how most people in this trade started. Say plainly on the form that you are new — it is not a mark against you.
Do I need a driver’s licence or CDL?
A valid driver’s licence and an acceptable record are required for most field roles. A CDL is not required for most work but is an advantage on aerial and heavier OSP crews.
Do you hire subcontract crews, not just individuals?
Yes. If you run your own crew with insurance and equipment, get in touch — that is a partnership conversation as much as a hiring one. See Partners.
Do I need to speak English?
Enough to work safely on a jobsite and follow instructions. Beyond that — hablamos español, мы говорим по-русски — and a good technician who is still improving their English is very welcome here.
Send us the scope. We will send back a number.
Drawings, a footage count or a rough description — whatever you have. We will tell you what we can self-perform, what it costs and when we can mobilise.
