Lead Technician – $2,500–3,500 / per week

The step before supervisor. Leads take the complex orders – fiber builds, escalations, commercial jobs – and mentor 2–3 newer techs, with mentorship pay stacked on top of the highest piece rates. Every TreeTech supervisor came through this role; when a new market opens, leads get the first call.

Frequently asked questions

Can I work without fluent English?

Yes. TreeTech supervisors and mentors speak English, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian and Polish. You need basic phrases for customers at the door – we give you a phrase card and it comes quickly on the job.

Do I need experience to start?

No. The Installer Helper track starts with 2–4 weeks of paid training with a mentor, and most helpers get their own route within a month. If you already have cable, fiber or electrical experience, you skip ahead after a field assessment and start at a higher rate.

What documents do I need?

Authorization to work in the US: an EAD card, Green Card or citizenship. TreeTech is an E-Verify employer. You will also need a driver’s license – if you only have a learner’s permit, talk to the recruiter about options.

How is the pay calculated?

Piece-rate: every work order type has a published point value, and your weekly check is the sum of completed points. You see the rate card before you sign, and every order is visible in the field app – so the math is always checkable.

Which states do you hire in?

Right now – 12 states: Tennessee, Ohio, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Alabama and Michigan. We help with relocation between our states, and the Travel Tech track works across all of them at once.

How fast is the hiring process?

A recruiter responds within 15 minutes during business hours, the interview is a short Zoom call with a supervisor from your region, and you get a written offer within 48 hours after it – with the rate card attached. From application to your first paid training day it usually takes 5–10 days.
