How to Become a Starlink Installer: 2026 Career Guide

There's no official SpaceX certification program for Starlink installers. Anyone with roofing/low-voltage experience, insurance, and the right tools can install professionally — and networks like InstallPros dispatch qualified techs paid jobs nationwide.

Skills You'll Need

Comfort working on roofs safely (harness, ladder, fall protection), basic knowledge of flashing and sealants to prevent leaks, low-voltage cable running and termination, drilling exterior walls with proper weatherproofing, and using the Starlink app for alignment and speed testing.

Tools & Equipment

Roof harness and anchor system, extension ladder (24ft+), impact driver, hole saws, cable fish tape, exterior-grade sealant (Dicor, Sikaflex), non-penetrating and pipe-adapter mounts in inventory, and a truck to carry it all.

Insurance & Licensing

General liability ($1M minimum), workers' comp if you have employees, and any state-required low-voltage or contractor license. Roofing work in some states requires a specialty license — check your state contractor board.
