Requirements:

Who We’re Looking For

  • Comfortable working at heights and outdoors year-round
  • Previous tower, construction, or electrical experience a plus
  • Valid driver’s license required (CDL is a bonus!)
  • Certified climbers or willing to become certified (we’ll train you)
  • A strong work ethic, team-first attitude, and desire to grow

  • Hands-on training – get certified and paid to learn
  • Company vehicles and gear provided
  • Tight-knit team, not just a number

"I started with zero tower experience. TCE trained me, promoted me, and now I’m leading my own crew. If you’re dependable, they invest in you."
— Marcus R., Level II Technician
