Job description

At NextGen, we are committed to helping our clients continue to push the boundaries of technological possibilities, continuing their legacy of being among the world’s most recognized and revolutionary brands in the Wireless, Telecom, and Connected Technologies domains.

Then, we take your goals, and seek out the managers that we have long-term, trusting relationships with and find an opportunity that will suit your needs. Through this model, we have continued to raise the bar in the levels of service and satisfaction our clients experience; being recognized with a myriad of awards and accolades for being an industry leader and a chosen World Class partner – all because we understand the simple notion that you are more likely to push yourself to continuously improve performance and take on new challenges if you are doing work that you enjoy and find to be rewarding.
