To be a cell tower technician, you do need to possess a degree of education and skills. For basic cell tower tech jobs, formal training is not always required, however, most employers do expect you to have a diploma or GED certificate. You’ll also need to undergo safety training and job training. Most employers will provide you with paid training, but if you have outside skills or some experience in the field, so much the better. For technician and installer positions, you may need to have a degree in electronics telecommunications, or technology. The qualifications needed will depend on the job description and each individual company’s qualifications, so check job advertisements carefully. No matter your level of education, you will undergo on-the-job training and be required to sit for a safety training session.
