How the network works

1. Submit a trade profile. Tell us your experience, certifications, where you'll work, and union status. A resume is not required.
2. Profile review. Your application gives us the trade, experience, certifications and travel area to assess a potential match. If more detail is needed, we may contact you about the work you have done.
3. Potential introduction. If your profile fits a contractor's opening, we may introduce you. The contractor decides whom to interview or hire; confirm pay and employment terms directly with that employer.

Low-voltage roles to include in your profile

Cable Technician / Installer

Pay, certifications, and getting ahead

Before accepting a role, ask the hiring contractor about the hourly rate, overtime, benefits, travel expectations and work classification. Use our New York prevailing wage guide to identify rate schedules and classification questions for public-work projects. Training requirements depend on the site and your responsibilities; an OSHA-30 card does not replace all required SST training at covered NYC sites. List the exact BICSI level or manufacturer course you have completed, and confirm which credentials an opening requires before paying for more training. A certification does not guarantee a promotion or a higher rate. Our guide to becoming a low voltage technician in New York covers training and apprenticeship routes. For a different career path, compare the cabling and operations roles in our New York data center technician guide. The NYISO project tracker offers planning context, not a list of employers currently hiring.

Questions workers ask us

Check current requirements with the New York Department of State and NYC DOB site safety training guidance. Requirements vary by role and site.

Is Low Voltage New York an employer?

No. We collect trade profiles for possible introductions to partner contractors. Tell us your experience, certifications, travel area and availability. A contractor decides whether to interview or hire; submitting a profile does not confirm an opening or guarantee a placement.

Do I need a license to do low-voltage work in New York?

Requirements depend on the system, your responsibilities and the job site. Check security and fire-alarm licensing with the New York Department of State and confirm local requirements with the hiring contractor. NYC DOB requires worker SST training at covered sites with designated safety supervision; having a DOB permit alone does not determine whether SST applies. Use the official references below before choosing a training course.

Do you place union and non-union workers?

You can record union or non-union status when applying. Any introduction depends on your eligibility, the contractor and the project requirements. Check the applicable union referral rules before accepting work; joining this network does not replace a hiring hall or apprenticeship process.

How much experience do I need to join?

You can submit a profile at any experience level. Describe tasks you have actually performed: pulling and dressing cable, terminating, testing, reading riser diagrams or supervising a crew. If you are starting out, list completed training and whether you are seeking a helper role or an apprenticeship.

What does it cost me?

Joining the talent network is free for workers. Submitting your profile does not purchase a job, an interview or a certification.
