[Ansteorra] Off Topic.....Radio Tech Job with TxDOT in Houston, Texas

[Paul Gilbert]

Greetings...

While this is off topic, please excuse the bandwidth as someone in the 
SCA may be interested in this job posting.

There is a job opening for a Radio Tech III in the TxDOT Houston, Texas 
District Office.

See the job posting at

http://www.dot.state.tx.us/employment/alljvns/jvn010479.htm

Duties will cover management of radios for the district. This will 
include installation of radios in vehicles and offices, repair and 
programming of radios, operation of HF SSB radio system.

Primarily the district uses 800MHz portables, mobiles and bases that are 
on a 800MHz regional system (not TxDOT owned). There will be some Low 
Band (47MHz) work, as well as VHF (150MHz) High Band. There will be the 
usual FCC, FAA, tower and inventory related paperwork and issues.

Duties may include installation of portable sign boards, light-bars, or 
other related systems on vehicles.

Pay will be dependent on experience. While the job requirements do not 
require it, a FCC GROL or General Class or higher Ham License will help 
considerably.

Use of service monitors, watt meters, basic radio and antenna system 
trouble shooting skills are important.

This is a real "Radio Guy" job. The successful candidate will need to 
know repeaters, antennas, coaxes, how they work and such

Knowledge of HF SSB radio systems would be good.

Patience and getting along well with others will be a must.

While the pay not be the best in the world, it is very doubtful you'll 
get laid off as long as you do the job.

If there are any questions, I can answer some of them.

In Service,

Niklas / Paul Gilbert
