NOC Engineer

Salary £ POA

Vacancy listed 14/11/2022

Application deadline 31/12/2023

Details

The Network Operations Centre (NOC) Engineer has three main roles:

  • To ensure maximum possible service availability and performance.
  • To provision customer equipment and new services.
  • To provide support services for the service delivery (helpdesk) and project teams.

These result in a highly diverse range of duties for the NOC – our engineers are required to ensure they are fulfilled in a timely, co-operative and professional manner.

We interact frequently with technical support, service provisioning and sales teams so it’s important that we are clear and concise in our communications. We also work very closely with the engineering team and as such need to develop a good all-round understanding of systems and networks. Diligence and attention to detail are also key skills along with an ability to multi-task and prioritise work appropriately.

We don’t expect you to have all the required knowledge for this role when you start as many of these skills can be picked up through experience in the job, but those who do need to learn new skills must be prepared to spend time doing suitable research to ensure their grounding is thorough and properly understood. As your knowledge and confidence develop you may be asked to join our call-out rota providing 24×7 support of our core services.
