Field Support Center (FSC)

The Field Support Center (FSC) is the heartbeat of the Enertech safety and quality programs.

The FSC serves Enertech employees and delivery partners by tracking all job sites, work crew locations, vehicles and equipment (via GPS) as well as acting as a help desk for all field activities.

The FSC answers an average of 1,500 calls per week. In addition to answering questions and documenting field work, the FSC serves a critical function in helping to emphasize safe work practices on each call.

Through a proprietary online database, the FSC monitors the safety and training credentials for all Enertech employees and delivery partners to ensure that all certifications are current and that all personnel on a work site have the proper training.

Training Facilities

Enertech realizes that the key to building a safe, productive, and sustainable workforce is to implement industry-recognized best practices in training as well as training facilities that create a realistic and challenging environment for the trainee.

Enertech has multiple training facilities including our New Braunfels, TX headquarters as well as our Houston, Coppell, and Kaufman, TX locations. Enerech’s Albuquerque, NM and Phoenix, AZ locations are among the newest to include training facilities.

All training locations incorporate extensive classroom instruction as well as hands-on, outdoor cell tower experience for the training of all new hires that work in the field as well as on-going training of existing field employees.

The Enertech team leads the wireless industry in safety training initiatives.
