Installation Technician skills and qualifications

Installation Technicians work with highly technical equipment and must follow strict guidelines when installing different types of systems to ensure efficient operation. While specific requirements may vary, successful Installation Technician candidates should have some of the following prerequisite skills and qualifications when applying to your company:

Copy this section

Good communication skills when coordinating with team members and customers

The ability to climb ladders when installing wiring and equipment on roofs and ceilings

Physical stamina when standing or kneeling for extended periods of time

Clear understanding and knowledge of up-to-date electronic, cable, satellite and telecommunications systems

Willingness to train on company-specific technical equipment

Problem-solving skills to handle repairs and equipment issues during service calls

Good customer service skills when working directly with residential and business customers

Installation Technician experience requirements

Experience requirements may be industry-specific, such as two to five years of experience installing high-speed internet. An employer may also prefer applicants with past IT experience if the position calls for the installation of computer systems. Previous data entry experience may be required for entering service orders into company databases, and past customer service experience is desirable for techs who work directly with customers.

Some businesses provide training programs for entry-level Installation Technicians where they shadow and assist experienced techs to learn installation processes from the ground up, so past experience may not be a requirement in these situations.
