Low voltage wiring:

This is directly related to the "rough-in" responsibility and is the most crucial experience. It means the candidate should have practical knowledge of how to: Pull and run various types of low voltage cables. Terminate cables (e.g., crimping RJ45 connectors for Ethernet, F-connectors for coaxial). Understand wiring diagrams and schematics. Troubleshoot basic wiring issues. Adhere to relevant codes and standards (e.g., NEC Article 800 for communications circuits).

Basic construction skills:

This indicates that the job may involve some light construction work, such as: Drilling holes through studs, joists, and fire blocks. Cutting and patching drywall (though often this is done by a dedicated drywaller, a basic understanding is helpful). Using hand and power tools safely and effectively. Understanding building structures to determine the best path for wiring.
