Careers

Join the DFT Communications Family of Services

They say great minds think alike.

 

We say great minds think innovatively, creatively, and ingeniously. And thanks to some exciting, explosive growth, we’re always looking for a few great minds. Perhaps yours is one of them.

 

We’re looking for people who want to spend their 8-5 (we’re a little more flexible and sometimes more demanding than that, but you get the point) in a high-energy, high-impact environment, thinking and working creatively. When you work with us, you’ll be challenged, empowered, and, most of all, appreciated.

 

We listen some, talk some, challenge old ways of thinking, strategize about new ways of doing, then create and deliver innovative solutions. And, if that wasn’t good enough, we have a great time doing it.

DFT has been a great opportunity for me. Everyone has been friendly and helpful. Starting a new job after recently having a baby can be stressful, but everyone made me feel welcomed. I also love that DFT Is extremely active in the community and very family oriented. I’ve learned so much and can’t wait to see what the future holds for me as part of the DFT family.

Working at DFT Communications has been a great opportunity for me. Aside from all my efforts being recognized and appreciated, every day begins with a friendly smile and warm “Good Morning” from literally everyone. All the hours spent at work really isn’t “work” if it’s spent with people that treat you like family. I would definitely recommend anyone to work at DFT and to take advantage of the same opportunity as I did.
