About The Position

For 80 years, CEC has grown by doing right by our customers and each other-and a lot of that work happens in the field, on the systems that keep buildings safe and connected. As a Systems Specialist, you'll lead the physical installation of communications systems on project sites, including running the day-to-day work, guiding a crew, and making sure every job meets CEC's standards for safety and quality. It's hands-on work for people who'd rather be on-site than behind a desk. It's also a place to grow-many of our systems technicians go on to become master technicians and engineers, and we back that path with training and certifications you can earn on the job.
