Home / Minnesota / Smart Home & Security Installer

Smart Home & Security Installer jobs in Minnesota – $1,400–2,100/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.

Cameras, sensors, smart thermostats and security panels – installed and configured on the carrier’s platform, then explained to the customer in plain language. This role rewards communication: customer-satisfaction scores carry bonus pay, so techs who like talking to people earn more here than on pure construction work.

  • Install and configure security panels, cameras and sensors
  • Set up home automation scenes and mobile apps with the customer
  • Integrate devices with the customer’s Wi-Fi and troubleshoot coverage
  • Walk customers through the system until they are confident
  • Document installations and close orders in the field app

Requirements

  • Experience in cable, alarm, or electronics installation preferred
  • Strong customer communication (any of our 5 languages + basic English)
  • Driver’s license; authorization to work in the US
  • Comfort with mobile apps and home networking basics

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.
