Network Operations Center Technicians

Employers

NOC technicians are employed by companies that manage their own computer networks, managed service providers, public utilities that have large network systems, colleges and universities, federal and state government agencies (especially those involved in mission-critical areas such as defense or emergency response), and the U.S. military.

Starting Out

Many NOC technicians land their first jobs as a result of contacts made during their internships or other experiential learning opportunities. Many companies use their internship programs as a tool to identify future employees, so it’s critical that you do your best during such an opportunity. Aspiring technicians can also learn about job openings by attending career fairs, participating in online and in-person networking events, and by contacting potential employers directly about job openings.
