First Line Subsea NOC Engineer
We are seeking a detail-oriented and technically capable First Line Subsea NOC Engineer to join our 24x7 operational team. The role is responsible for the real-time monitoring and operational support of global submarine cable and transmission systems, ensuring the continued availability and performance of critical telecommunications infrastructure.
As the first point of contact for network events and customer-reported issues, you will be responsible for alarm monitoring, incident triage, ticket management, and customer communications. You will investigate alerts, perform initial fault analysis, coordinate with internal and external stakeholders, and ensure incidents are escalated in accordance with established operational procedures.
This position requires strong attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and the ability to remain calm and professional when managing high-priority incidents and demanding customers, including hyperscale and carrier clients. Success in the role depends on maintaining accurate records, following processes rigorously, and taking ownership of incidents through to resolution or formal handover.
Our Network Operations Centre (NOC) operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to ensure continuous service availability. As an integral member of the operations team, you will participate in a rotating shift pattern covering both day and night operations.
Applicants must have no known reason that would prevent the successful completion of required security screening, including customer vetting and green-listing processes where applicable.
