Employee-owned company builds the workforce behind the technology, where skilled hands build the digital future, and invites local candidates to apply immediately or meet its team at the Milwaukee Job Fair on November 18.
Brookfield, Wis. (November 17, 2025) – While many headlines about artificial intelligence focus on automation and job loss, one Wisconsin company is proving that technology still needs people, and a lot of them. CC&N, a 100 percent employee-owned company, is expanding rapidly to meet record demand for the skilled technicians building the physical backbone of artificial intelligence, America’s data centers.
“We’re the people who make technology work, the ones pulling the fiber, building the infrastructure, and keeping the world connected,” said Dan Witkofski, President of CC&N. “Our technicians are the backbone of AI and digital communication, and because we’re employee-owned, every technician has a stake in the future they’re helping to build.”
CC&N designs, builds, and maintains the wired and wireless networks that connect today’s workplaces, data centers, and industrial environments. The company is seeking new technicians to join what it calls the “modern-day blue-collar tech workforce,” which include hands-on professionals trained to install and maintain the physical infrastructure that powers AI, automation, and digital communication.
“The jobs we are adding represent the front line of the AI infrastructure boom,” Witkofski added. “Our teams are building some of the most high-tech systems in the world, right here in Wisconsin.”
The roles offer fast-track training, paid travel, and employee ownership through CC&N’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Many current technicians come from skilled trades, the military, or technical backgrounds, and no college degree is required.
“The first Industrial Revolution was powered by machines and manufacturing,” said Rob Dillon, CEO of OwnersEdge, the employee-owned parent company of CC&N. “Today’s revolution is unfolding right in front of our eyes, powered by AI, and most people don’t realize how quickly it is taking hold. The great news is that while AI may live in the cloud, it requires infrastructure that is being built by people on the ground, right here in our backyard. Every digital revolution starts with human hands, and that is where CC&N’s skilled labor comes in.”
As part of its hiring efforts, CC&N will participate in a job fair hosted by The Job Center of Wisconsin on Tuesday, November 18, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at 4201 N. 27th St., Suite 602, Milwaukee. Job seekers interested in hands-on technology careers are encouraged to attend, bring their resume, and meet with company representatives.
“As industries evolve to keep pace with automation, CC&N is expanding because technology still needs people—people who build, connect, and keep it running,” Witkofski said. “That’s the story we’re proud to tell.”
