Granite to Expand Rhode Island Operations to Meet Growing Demand


Communications professional Rand Currier has served in various capacities in large telecommunications organizations. Today, Rand Currier is the COO of Granite Telecommunications, LLC

In May 2017, Granite announced it was expanding its operations in Rhode Island by moving into a larger 23,000 square foot facility and adding 50 new jobs, predominantly in sales, leadership, technology and customer care. The communications company announced the big move after adding $100 million or more in annualized revenue growth for a sixth year in a row. The 50 new jobs will bring the company’s staff count to over 250 in the state. It is the second time in four years that the company has announced significant increases to its Rhode Island staff. 

Granite continues to expand in Rhode Island owing to the numerous opportunities available for selling communications products to complex businesses and also because of the region’s highly-skilled workforce. The 50 new jobs will grow Rhode Island’s personal income, sales and corporate tax revenue by $1.8 million while increasing its GDP by $11.4 million.
