Installer Helper (no experience) jobs in Minnesota – $800–1,000/week

The twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul offer dense urban routes, while the suburbs are actively switching to fiber optics. Winter here is real, and we’re honest about it–but since some of the jobs take place indoors (MDU and service calls), our workload doesn’t drop off.

Apply – takes 60 seconds

The entry door into the trade. For your first 2–4 weeks you ride with a mentor tech, learn the tools, the meter, the ladder and the field app – and we pay you for that training time. Most helpers pass certification and get their own route within a month. No resume, no prior experience, no perfect English required.

What you will do

  • Assist a mentor technician on daily installation routes
  • Learn cable prep, connector termination and signal testing
  • Handle ladder setup, materials and job-site cleanup
  • Complete the TreeTech paid training academy
  • Pass the field certification and get your own route

Requirements

  • Authorization to work in the US – that’s the only hard requirement
  • Driver’s license or active learner status (we help plan the rest)
  • Physically ready: ladders, attics, weather
  • Willingness to learn – everything else we teach

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 in Minnesota?

No. The Installer Helper track starts with 2–4 weeks of paid training with a mentor. 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.

Do you help with a vehicle or relocation to Minnesota?

Yes. There is a company vehicle-lease program for technicians without their own van, and we help with relocation between our states when routes are open – many techs have moved to Minnesota with our support.
