The work
Four kinds of install work, one crew.
Cable installation
Coax installs, upgrades and service changes, from the tap to the modem, with clean routing inside the home.
Drop bury
Burying the temporary line that runs from the pedestal to the house, once utilities are located and flagged.
MDU installation
Apartments and multi-unit buildings: wiring units, working in shared spaces, and turning up service unit by unit.
Pay
Paid per point. Here is what that means.
Every job is worth a set number of points, from 9 for a quick job up to 50 for the biggest ones. You earn between $2.40 and $3.00 for each point you complete, and you're paid every Friday.
Most techs make $150 to $300 a day. Where you land depends on your route and how much available work you pick up on top of it.
As a 1099 contractor you're paid the full amount, with nothing withheld. Taxes and fuel are on you, so set money aside for both. CPC provides the truck and every tool.

Questions
What techs ask before they apply.
Do I need install experience?
No. New techs get 2 to 3 weeks of paid training at $15 an hour with one of our leads before running their own route. Construction, low-voltage or utility experience helps, and experienced techs can move to their own truck sooner.
How does pay work?
Per point. Every job is worth 9 to 50 points, and you earn $2.40 to $3.00 per point depending on your attendance, return rate and customer reviews. Most techs make $150 to $300 a day, paid every Friday.
Are CPC techs employees or contractors?
Every CPC installer is a 1099 independent contractor. Nothing is withheld from your pay, so you handle your own taxes.
Do I need my own truck and tools?
No. CPC provides the truck and every tool you need on the job.
Where is the work?
Homes and apartment buildings across the Omaha metro, as far east as Council Bluffs, Iowa. [Confirm the western reach before launch.]
How fast will I hear back?
The next business day. Jacob Miguel, our manager, calls every applicant.
Do you work with subcontractor crews?
Yes. If you run a crew with its own trucks and insurance, apply as a crew owner and tell us how many techs you have.
