Jefferson Telecom has announced the addition of a new staff member, Rodger Nichols. Nichols has started employment and is working as a fiber optics in-home installer.
Nichols brought a wide variety of job experiences with him when he came to Jefferson Telecom. “During my career, I’ve been a nursing assistant at a nursing home, worked in the private direct mailing industry, and owned a landscaping business called Nichols and Sons. Most recently, I was employed by Midwest Utilities Inc., doing underground utility construction of fiber optic cable including bringing fiber to homes,” said Nichols.
His job at Jefferson Telecom involves locating copper telephone cable and fiber optic cable, servicing cable TV trouble calls, and performing fiber optics in-home installations. Rodger notes, “I have much to learn at Jefferson Telecom, but I am excited to expand my knowledge. I’m grateful for the opportunity to work for a local organization that has been in business for generations and will be around for many years to come. I like Jefferson and am adjusting to the slower pace of a small town. No more long commutes and traffic jams like I experienced in Minneapolis.”
Jefferson Telecom general manager Jim Daubendiek said, “We are excited to add Rodger to our staff and we encourage our customers to welcome Rodger to our community.”
