📍 Pacific Northwest (Field/Travel) • Seasonal
When a wildfire incident command post goes up, the communications infrastructure that makes it functional doesn't appear by magic. Someone has to build it — fast, in the field, under pressure. That's this job. Richesin Engineering deploys and supports communications systems for wildland fire operations, and we're looking for technicians who can handle the environment as well as the equipment.
You'll be installing and maintaining Starlink systems, two-way radio infrastructure, and ICP networking at active incident command posts across the Pacific Northwest. This is seasonal work tied to fire season, but it's serious technical work in a high-stakes environment. ICS-100/200 certification is preferred. Physical fitness is required — you're working outdoors in smoke, heat, and terrain.
If you've ever watched wildfire coverage on the news and wondered who set up the Wi-Fi in that tent city, now you know. That's us. We take pride in the fact that when incident commanders need comms, they have them — because someone who knew what they were doing showed up and made it happen.
You will work where the internet goes to get tested. Satellites, smoke, and stressed incident commanders — that's your office. Coffee is provided. Sleep is not guaranteed. If you can set up a working network in a parking lot in 90-degree heat while ash falls on your keyboard, you'll fit right in.
