Job Description:
Residential Broadband Technician
Having a career in cable television doesn't mean you have to audition for a reality show. In fact, working as a Residential Broadband Technician is a pretty sweet gig that doesn't even involve surviving on an island with strangers or being cutthroat in a kitchen. If Tech Installer or Maintenance Technician are skills in your wheelhouse, this might be a role in which you were meant to play!
This opportunity is with Cox Communications, part of the Cox family of businesses, and we're all about connecting our customers to a world of possibilities. As part of a customer experience driven team, you will earn an hourly rate of $21.19
What You'll Do
• Install, disconnect, and troubleshoot for Cox products, including high speed internet, telephony and automation services. You'll be working with things like alarms, low voltage electricity, and color-coded wires.
• Share our amazing products with our customers, how to use them, and what upgrades are available.
• Just to bring a little paperwork into your world, you'll document the results of each of your visits, and guide customers through the legal linguistics of waivers, agreements, and release forms.
• Drive a company vehicle, which includes planning your daily route, ordering necessary equipment, and supplying, stocking and maintaining your vehicle (including but not limited to your favorite passenger seat snack).
• Take part in training sessions, so you can be up to speed on our latest products, services, and safety guidelines. And then apply that knowledge to your day-to-day work.
You want the best for your customers, and you'll ensure the quality of services provided them meets established industry and company performance standards and is compliant with all applicable national, state and local laws and regulations.
What's In It For You?
• The best in workspace tools and technology are a must for you to do your best work, so Cox makes sure you have a tool belt filled with the most innovative equipment and resources available.
• If you're looking for a truckload of benefits, we've got plenty to install, starting with great, highly competitive pay, generous incentives, and other compensation perks (401k + company match, comprehensive medical benefits, etc.). We also offer free Internet , and discounts on other Cox services valued at up to $300 per month. We'll also connect you with tuition reimbursement for academic pursuits, adoption assistance, paid time off to volunteer, childcare and eldercare resources, pet insurance and much more.
• Good work should be rewarded, and not just with a healthy paycheck. The Cox culture is one that values people more than technology, so it's our goal to make sure you feel recognized for your contributions. It's also important to work alongside colleagues who "get you." At Cox, you'll find a workplace where relationships are crafted with care and successes are celebrated with high fives. We strive to create an environment where you can do you, and everyone from leadership to new hires can support and feel supported.
• Growth is a good thing, and you'll have opportunities to learn and train so you can sharpen your skills and explore opportunities across the Cox family of businesses that will continue to challenge and empower you. In the future, you may have the opportunity to cultivate customer relationships in other sectors where we operate like cleantech, health care and new forms of transportation mobility.
Who You Are
You're also good with customers, creating a friendly rapport when providing service or troubleshooting issues for them. You know your way around basic PC/Windows software, and you have a driving and work history that you're proud of.
