About Hy-Vee

At Hy-Vee, we believe the shortest distance between two people is a smile. We're seeking professionals who bring proven skills, a desire to grow, and a commitment to work together in building a company that strives to make our customers' lives easier, healthier and happier.

The Role and Why It's Important

A+ Communications & Security is Hy-Vee's in-house low voltage team. We install and service the networks behind Hy-Vee's stores, from new builds and live-store remodels to data closets and register lanes, across Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Because we're part of Hy-Vee, one of the nation's largest employee-owned companies, we handle Hy-Vee's low voltage work directly instead of competing on bids against other firms. That means steady, year-round work.
