About Hy-Vee

At Hy-Vee, we believe the shortest distance between two people is a smile. We're seeking professionals who bring proven skills, a desire to grow, and a commitment to work together in building a company that strives to make our customers' lives easier, healthier and happier.

The Role and Why It's Important

We install and service the networks behind Hy-Vee's stores, from new builds and live-store remodels to data closets and register lanes, across Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Because we're part of Hy-Vee, one of the nation's largest employee-owned companies, we handle Hy-Vee's low voltage work directly instead of competing on bids against other firms. That means steady, year-round work.

We're hiring low voltage technicians at every level, from trainees ready to learn the trade to experienced leads who can run a jobsite. Your starting level and pay are based on your experience, and our six-level career path shows exactly what it takes to move up.

Whether you're starting out or ready to lead, we have a place for you.
