Field Technician

DescriptionJoin Sparklight as a Field Technician (also known as a Broadband Technician) and use your talents to make a meaningful impact with your team and the more than 900,000 residential and business customers we serve in over 21 states. You will consistently exceed delivery on our promises to be helpful, personal, proactive, and committed by supporting our customers with internet, phone, and video services that help them stay connected to what matters most – whether that’s making sure families can video chat with deployed service members, ensuring a Twitch streamer is connected late at night when the audience is online, or giving a small business owner faith that their internet connection will power their team through client pitches and product demos.
