Telecommunications Specialist in Lansing, MI

Telecommunications Specialist Job Description

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

Management experience in video and data communications is necessary, as is a commitment to providing the customer with reliable equipment, software and connectivity.

Typical telecommunications specialist duties:

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

Applying user requirements to technology

Developing, refining and complying with telecommunications systems planning

Installing and testing cabling

Investigating and resolving trouble ticket items and making necessary equipment repairs
