About The Position

This is a hands-on, field-rooted technical role at the heart of Eastlink’s network. You’ll work directly with the physical and operational layers that keep our services running - implementing, troubleshooting, and maintaining the infrastructure behind our Network Operations Center (NOC), dedicated data, internet, and telephony services. If you’re someone who enjoys working with equipment, solving real-world connectivity issues, and seeing the immediate impact of your work on customers and network performance, this role is for you. It’s less about sitting behind a desk and more about getting into the network, using your tools, and making things work. You’ll play a key role in both deploying new services and keeping existing ones running smoothly, working closely with engineering, operations, and customer-facing teams.
