Good technicians are hard to find. So we are always looking.
We do not usually have a list of open positions. We do have a steady stream of work and a habit of finding room for someone who is clearly good at this. If that sounds like you, write to us and we will keep you in mind.
What the work actually is
Gecadi looks after small and mid-sized businesses: law firms, clinics, shops, offices. On-site across Greater Los Angeles, remote everywhere else in the U.S. A week here is rarely one thing.
Desktops, laptops and the things attached to them
A machine that will not boot the morning of a deadline, a drive making a noise it should not, a laptop that has met a cup of coffee. Diagnosis first, then the fix, then making sure it does not come back next month.
Networks and cabling
Running and terminating cable, switches and access points, an office that has outgrown the router the internet provider left behind. Work that happens in ceilings and comms cupboards as often as at a desk.
Camera and access systems
Specifying, installing and setting up security systems for offices and small businesses, and being the person who explains to the owner how to actually use the thing afterwards.
Cloud phone systems
RingCentral and AT&T Office@Hand: number porting, call flows, handsets, and cutovers that have to happen without a business losing a single call.
Servers and remote access
Small business servers, backups that are actually tested, and giving people a way to work from somewhere other than the office without leaving the door open behind them.
Software we build ourselves
Web and mobile applications for clients whose problem has no product to buy. The portal our clients use to open tickets was built here, by us.
Two ways to work with us
Which one is open depends on the month. Tell us what you are after and we will tell you honestly whether we have it.
On the team
A job, with a schedule, a run of clients you get to know and colleagues to ask when something is unfamiliar.
- Regular hours, with the occasional evening cutover
- Clients you see again, rather than a queue of strangers
- Kit, training and certifications paid for
On call
Work handed to you job by job. You take what suits and pass on what does not, and you keep your own hours and your own other clients.
- Paid per job, agreed before you accept it
- You choose what you take and how far you travel
- Your own business, your own tools, no exclusivity
What we look for
Certifications help and we will pay for more of them. None of them are the thing that makes somebody good at this.
- You explain things to people who are not technical without making them feel stupid.
- You write down what you did, so the next person is not starting from nothing.
- You say when you do not know something instead of guessing on a client's system.
- You turn up when you said you would, which matters more than any certification.
On-site work is Greater Los Angeles. Remote work can be from anywhere in the U.S., though most of it still runs on Pacific hours because that is where the clients are.
