Field Technician

Description

Do you enjoy solving technical problems and helping people feel confident with the tools they use? Are you energized by working hands‑on with cutting‑edge telecom systems? Idea Tek is looking for a Field Technician to support the installation and management of VoIP systems and fiber equipment. In this hybrid role you’ll work directly with customers, support technical operations and help expand and maintain high‑quality phone and internet services.

If you’re curious, tech‑savvy, and thrive on delivering great support experiences— we want to hear from you. This role will be based out of our Buhler, KS office with field and office duties.

You’ll start your day with a mix of planning and prep—reviewing scheduled installs, updating documentation, or stocking hardware. You may head into the field to install a new device or configure a VoIP phone system, support customers over the phone, assist with internal tickets, and document systems to ensure repeatable, high‑quality service. No two days are exactly the same, so you’ll get to problem‑solve at every turn.

• Install and configure VoIP phone systems for new and existing customers
• Manage Optical Network Terminal (ONT) equipment and phone hardware
• Provide technical support and troubleshooting for end users
• Conduct in‑person and phone‑based discovery to assess customer needs
• Document configurations and processes for future support use
• Plan installations by reviewing contracts, site plans, and system requirements
• Ensure necessary tools and supplies are prepped for all installations
• Contribute to process improvement initiatives and special projects
• Support the team with occasional office‑based tasks and call handling

• 1+ years of experience in IT, telecom, or VoIP support roles
• Experience with digital phone systems (VoIP) and analog phone/fax systems
• Comfort reading technical documents, contracts, or equipment specs
• Familiarity with field‑based tech installations or customer‑facing support work

• Natural curiosity and strong critical thinking skills
• Passion for problem‑solving and a creative approach to technical challenges
• Committed to precision, accuracy, and delivering excellent support
• Able to communicate technical information clearly—whether with teammates or customers
• Self‑motivated, resourceful, and comfortable adapting to the day’s priorities
