This Is a Great Place to Build Your Career
At American Tower we’re not just interested in filling a position—we encourage you to build a career with us.
Many of our long-term employees have held a variety of roles, where they have gained new experiences and broader capabilities during their time here.
Professional Growth
There is more than one way to advance and grow, there are many. That’s why we moved away from the notion that the only way to build a career is through a traditional “career ladder,” recognizing that lateral and developmental moves can create a dynamic “career lattice.”
There are a variety of development paths. You can work on a cross-departmental project with others, move to another department that can use your skills, or identify a need and propose a new project.
By enabling employees to move in a variety of directions, we keep your capabilities expanding, while your career is growing together with our Company.
