Spectrum to Hire Over 170 Field Techs

As Spectrum makes steady progress on network expansion initiatives – often in newly served rural areas – the connectivity provider looks to expand its team by hiring more field technicians in several parts of Missouri.

Strong business growth and aggressive statewide advanced fiber optic network buildout projects have Spectrum hiring more than 65 Field Technicians in the Kansas City area.

Field Technicians install and support Spectrum services in customers’ homes and businesses to maintain vital connectivity.

Field Technician roles offer competitive hourly wages starting at $20 an hour, along with comprehensive health and retirement benefits. Spectrum also provides Field Technicians extensive ongoing training and a robust career progression program that includes U.S. Department of Labor-certified Broadband Field Technician Apprenticeship. Many Spectrum technicians have advanced their careers into roles such as network maintenance, construction or supervisory and management positions – furthering the need to grow the field technician workforce. 

“We have a great story to tell about what’s driving our business growth and related hiring at Spectrum,” said John Sullivan, Area Vice President for Spectrum’s Kansas City/Nebraska Field Operations. “We’re looking to grow our team of field technicians to provide superior customer service, maintenance technicians to support network connectivity and construction coordinators to help design network expansion. These are great roles for anyone want to build a fulfilling career with strong starting wages, excellent benefits and self-paced advancement opportunities.” 

Spectrum will host in-person interviews in various communities on Feb. 15, March 1, March 16 and March 29, and will make same-day offers for these openings.

In addition to a $20 minimum starting wage, Spectrum employees receive comprehensive health benefits, and for 10 consecutive years, the company has absorbed the full annual cost increase of medical, dental and vision coverage. The company also offers employees a market-leading retirement plan, with a 401(k) that matches the first 6% of employee contributions, plus a Retirement Accumulation Plan with an additional 3% company contribution — for which Field Technicians are eligible — bringing the total company contribution to a potential 9%.

Spectrum employees can also receive up to $10,000 per year in education assistance, as well as complimentary and discounted pricing on Spectrum services.
