The work we need right now

From the pole line to the living room

Fiber work rewards good judgment, careful hands, physical readiness, and pride in the finish. Some candidates bring years of experience. Others bring strong transferable skills and the drive to learn the right way.

Actively building field crews

Home & business installation

Plan a clean route, connect the customer, test the service, and leave the property better than you found it.

  • Set, secure, and work safely from ladders
  • Route fiber through attics and crawl spaces
  • Fish walls and make careful penetrations without avoidable drywall damage
  • Mount, seal, activate, test, document, and explain the installation

Aerial fiber & pole-line work

Help build long, serviceable routes while protecting the crew, the public, and the cable.

  • Operate or learn bucket-truck and aerial-lift work
  • Apply NESC awareness, PPE, fall protection, and stop-work judgment
  • Walk out and control thousands of feet of fiber
  • Place strand, lash or overlash cable, manage slack, and close out the route

Underground construction & repair

Turn route plans and locate marks into protected conduit, handholes, cable paths, and restored ground.

  • Hand dig with shovels, expose conflicts, and work around locates
  • Build trenches, conduit paths, handholes, and pull-rope systems
  • Pull or blow fiber while controlling tension and bend radius
  • Backfill, restore, clean up, and document field changes
This is hands-on, safety-sensitive work.

Depending on the role, field teammates may drive between sites, work outdoors, climb, crouch, carry tools and materials up to 50 pounds, and work at height. The assessment lets you answer each essential function individually, with or without reasonable accommodation.

What matters here

Skill grows. Standards stay high.

You do not need to claim every skill to get our attention. An honest picture of what you can do independently, where you have assisted, and what you are ready to learn is far more useful.

01

Safety before speed

Recognize hazards, protect the work area, communicate clearly, and stop when a condition is not right.

02

Craftsmanship people can see

Respect the customer, the property, the network, and the next teammate who will work behind you.

03

Curiosity with follow-through

Ask good questions, learn the standard, solve problems, document the work, and own the result.

One company, many ways to contribute

Tell us where you want to grow

Our immediate need is in the field, but a strong network also needs planners, engineers, sellers, coordinators, customer advocates, and creative people. Choose every path that genuinely interests you.

Build a useful profile from interest to submission

The assessment is designed to understand the whole candidate: interests, practical readiness, current skills, transferable experience, and learning goals. It is not a timed test.

Select the career paths, locations, work types, and schedule options that fit what you want.

2

Check field readiness

Respond to practical work conditions and safety situations so expectations are clear on both sides.

3

Rate real capabilities

Tell us whether each relevant skill is new, familiar, assisted, independent, or something you can lead.

4

Review and submit

Add contact and experience details, check the complete profile, and send it to the hiring team.

Submitting a profile does not guarantee an interview or employment. It gives Quad State Internet a structured way to consider you for current and future opportunities and to contact you when your interests and capabilities align with a need.
