Telecommunications Specialist in El Paso, TX

Telecommunications Specialist Job Description

Telecommunications specialists create, install and maintain computer technology designed for the purposes of communication, including video and data systems.

Providing overall management of voice, data and video equipment; supervision; and technical advice

Developing, refining and complying with telecommunications systems planning

Installing and testing cabling

Investigating and resolving trouble ticket items and making necessary equipment repairs
