A low voltage technician resume that only says "ran low voltage" gets filtered out. The employers hiring for this role care about one thing: can you install structured cabling and low-voltage systems, follow standards, test, and troubleshoot. The resumes that land interviews talk about cabling, systems, and standards — not just "ran low voltage."
In one line: your resume should answer "what cabling and systems did you install, to what standards, and how did you test them."
"Ran low voltage" tells a hiring manager nothing:
Quantify around: drops/runs, systems installed, certification/test pass, projects. See how to quantify achievements on a resume. Keep claims honest.

These roles both wire buildings but differ — keep your resume positioned:
One installs low-voltage data/security/AV; the other handles line-voltage power. Tailor to the target role — see how to tailor your resume to a job description.
Structured cabling, systems, standards, and testing. Use drops/runs, systems installed, certification/test pass, and projects to show your work — not just "ran low voltage."
Use real numbers: drops/runs installed, systems deployed, certification/test pass, and projects. "Installed cabling to TIA standards, deployed CCTV, certified runs" beats "ran low voltage." Keep claims honest.
A low voltage technician works low-voltage systems — cabling, security, AV, data. An electrician works line-voltage power — wiring, panels, power. One does low voltage; the other does power. Frame your resume to match the role.
Yes. BICSI and manufacturer certifications, plus TIA standards knowledge, signal real capability — list them. Pair them with your systems and testing record so employers see you install to standard and certify your work.
The core of a low voltage technician resume is showing cabling, systems, and standards. Make your standards, systems, and testing clear, keep claims honest, and your resume will compete. When it's ready, run it through Prism Resume's free check: prismresume.com/check.
