We're looking for a Communications & Network Connectivity Specialist to support critical electric utility substation projects. This role is ideal for someone who has hands‑on experience with fiber, telecom, networking, or utility communications infrastructure and has evolved into a technical planning, design, or pre‑sales engineering role.
