STRATA NETWORKS Wireless Network Field Technician in VERNAL, Utah

A Vernal, UT employer is hiring a Wireless Network Field Technician to help build, maintain, and improve our LTE and IP-based wireless network across rural Utah. This is a hands-on, mid-level technical role for someone who enjoys solving problems in the field, learning new technologies, and taking ownership of network performance.

You'll be part of a small, capable wireless team that keeps thousands of customers connected every day.

Salary Range: $35.00 to $38.00 hourly

What you'll actually do

This is not a narrow "one-tool" job. You'll work across the LTE ecosystem---radio, transport, fiber, and IP---depending on what the network needs.

Your work will include:

  • Installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting LTE/5G base stations, routers, switches, fiber backhaul, and DC power systems
  • Monitoring network health using alarms, KPIs, and testing tools---and fixing issues before customers notice
  • Bringing new sites and services online, including configuring routers, switches, VLANs, QoS, and basic routing
  • Troubleshooting RF paths, antennas, fiber, and IP connectivity using tools like spectrum analyzers, OTDRs, Wireshark, and traceroute
  • Responding to network events, outages, and on-call issues with clear communication and solid technical judgment
  • Working closely with the core network team, NOC, and vendors to resolve issues and improve performance
  • Keeping sites clean, documented, and operating safely
  • Mentoring junior technicians as you grow in the role

Because this is a rural network with a lean team, adaptability matters. You'll sometimes step outside a narrow job description to help keep the network stable---especially during emergencies or severe weather events.

What we're looking for

You don't need to know everything on day one---but you do need strong fundamentals and a willingness to learn.

Required:

  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in IT, Networking, Telecommunications, Electronics---or equivalent hands-on experience
  • Foundational knowledge of IP networking
  • Valid driver's license and ability to obtain a DOT medical certificate
  • Ability to earn CompTIA Network+ within 6 months

Nice to have (but not required):

  • CCNA, CWNA, or wireless/RAN certifications
  • Experience with LTE/5G networks or vendor equipment (Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung, etc.)
  • Experience with Cisco routers, switches, and firewalls
  • Basic scripting or automation exposure (Python or Bash)
The work environment
  • Field-based role with travel between sites; occasional overnight travel
  • On-call rotation, including some weekends and holidays
  • Work at heights, in confined spaces, and in extreme weather
  • Lift up to 50 lbs. and safely climb ladders and towers
