About Superior Access Solutions:
Superior Access Solutions (SAS) is a full-service system integration and equipment reseller serving commercial and federal customers throughout the United States. We design, deploy, and support advanced networking, communications, transmission, cybersecurity, and integrated technology solutions that enable mission-critical operations. Our customers rely on us to deliver dependable, secure, and scalable solutions across a wide range of industries and government environments.
We are seeking a highly motivated and technically skilled Network and IT Integration Engineer – Customer Projects to join our growing engineering team. This position offers a unique opportunity to work on a diverse portfolio of customer projects involving enterprise networking, cybersecurity, virtualization, servers, wireless technologies, fiber infrastructure, video systems, audio systems, and integrated communications platforms.

The successful candidate will play a key role in delivering technology solutions from initial planning and design through installation, testing, customer acceptance, and long-term support.
In addition to supporting customer projects, this role will assist with maintaining and enhancing SAS's internal IT infrastructure and cybersecurity environment. During the initial phase of employment, the engineer will have significant involvement in supporting SAS's NIST 800-171 and CMMC-compliant environment.
