Field Operations

Field IoT Technician

Installing, commissioning and maintaining controllers and sensors on farms and sites. The role is field-first: most of the week is spent on site, not at a desk.

Details

You will install field units: the controller, soil-moisture probes at 20 cm and 45 cm, the flow meter on the pump outlet, and the solar panel that powers the unit. Installation is not only mechanical fixing - it includes calibration and recording the first reading on the platform before the site is handed over.

You will work with the LoRaWAN network: siting gateways, testing signal strength across open farmland, and resolving coverage problems on sites separated by long distances or natural obstructions.

Maintenance is a core part of the role: scheduled preventive visits and response to faults raised by the platform. You will document every visit with a short report that joins the site record, because a unit's history is what explains its next failure.

You will also take part in training the customer's operator - the part that decides whether the system keeps running after we leave the site.

Requirements

  • A diploma or degree in electronics, telecoms or electrical engineering - or equivalent practical experience.
  • Able to read a wiring diagram, solder, and make cable terminations clean enough to survive sun and dust.
  • Familiar with low-voltage (12/24 V) circuits and solar charging systems.
  • A valid driving licence and willingness to travel and stay outside Cairo a week at a time.
  • Comfortable using a laptop to configure devices and read connectivity logs.
  • Able to explain how the system works to a farmer in plain language, without jargon.

What we offer

  • Social and medical insurance.
  • Full travel and accommodation allowance on field work, plus a vehicle or transport allowance.
  • Your own tool kit and test instruments, not shared ones.
  • Paid training on LoRaWAN, irrigation systems and solar power.
  • A defined path to installation supervisor and then regional lead.

Optional, and no substitute for the CV.

Whole years. An estimate is fine.

What you would want us to know that the CV does not say.

One small sum, instead of a CAPTCHA that would track you.
