    Telecommunications Specialist in Baton Rouge, LA

    Telecommunications Specialist Job Description

    Telecommunications specialists create, install and maintain computer technology designed for the purposes of communication, including video and data systems. The role requires detailed understanding of telecommunications theory and practice, as well as solid technical, interpersonal and organization skills.
