Want to work for a local independent company, in a fun, fast paced environment and receive on-the-job training?

Kings is now hiring full time Communications Technicians to join the team, servicing and installing (telecommunications) cabling technology in oilfield, commercial, residential and hospitality premises.

Description:

This role will be fun, challenging and rewarding. You will be required to adapt to changing work paces as no two weeks are the same!

You will be responsible for a wide variety of tasks including installation of TV, internet and security systems, inspecting and testing equipment and diagnosing the cause of faults, ensuring clients get the right products for their needs and performing maintenance on all major communication service providers’ systems.
