It says ability to climb a tower . I guess that leaves the decent up to the climber .

Seriously? Really seriously?

If so, how could you please advise as to how to gain some experience in the telecom industry so that I could viably apply for one of these jobs? What is entry level and what is a good approach?

Thanks for any insights!

This is a serious job posting. I found it on monster.com while looking for myself.

I will be an unemployed safety consultant in about 3 weeks (end of a project)

I wish I could help with qualifications but since this is such a narrow field I can only guess as to what they would be looking for.

It wouldn't hurt to e-mail the contact and ask though.

Prolly shouldn't mention that you wouldn't need to climb down tho...

Edit to add:
There seems have been a bit of interest on this, a quick search on monster gave a few others as well. use keywords tower or antenna.

happy hunting
