Jobs in Nigeria Announcement

MainOne Cable IP Engineer Jobs Nigeria

 

30-11-10 - Main One Cable Company Limited ('MainOne'), one of organizations offering broadband capacity in Nigeria has announced vacancies for Senior and Junior IP Engineers in its establishment. MainOne provides its services through its undersea submarine cable system.

Mainone's entry as well as those of other wholesale broadband providers is a welcome development in view of the need to widen options in the provision of wholesale broadband capacity in Nigeria. This will therefore improve broadband availability and bring down associated costs thereby promoting digital inclusion and closing the internal digital divides within Nigeria.

 

Broadband is today's tool for growth, and developing countries like Nigeria cannot afford to be left behind. Opening up the wholesale broadband provision space in Nigeria with the right policies will help in job creation and business growth and expansion. Main One is competing with other wholesale broadband providers for the vast and largely untapped Nigerian market.

 

To maintain a competitive edge, it is obvious that MainOne needs to have the right human capital in core areas such as technical infrastructure provision, support and administration.  The job announcement from Main One specifically states that it "seeks to employ visionary, focused and effective individuals with sound track records and demonstrated relevant abilities".

 

 

In this regard Mainone has identified the need for IP Engineers. Here is information on specialist technical opportunities  for IP Engineers:

careeraware.com Opinion of these Job positions

This opinion does not guarantee anything. THIS OPINION IS NOT FROM THE EMPLOYER. This opinion is only provided as a convenience to give candidates more insight and guidance into the job positions

Wholesale broadband provision is key to driving national development. Very few organizations presently provide wholesale broadband capacity; Mainone therefore attracts visibility as one of the few new entrants and key players. The technical requirements are straightforward. The need is obvious - candidates are required to design, implement and maintain IP based services. You must show in your CV and application documents that you meet the stated requirements especially certifications, qualifications and years of experience. World class standards are expected. There is no local class. You are either world class or no class.

IP Engineering is core and plays a critical role - "ensuring the availability and stability of the Main One network". Even if you meet all requirements you must be aware that your level of professionalism and ability to contribute will differentiate you. Your packaging should highlight how you meet the specified requirements and present an image of a responsibility and professionalism. Your professionalism should shine through.

Opportunities in wholesale broadband provision are not common place. Prospects are therefore unique, challenging and rewarding. Expect stiff competition, so prepare well.  Learn more about wholesale broadband provision and how IP Engineering contributes. Understand the mission of MainOne. Read the job requirements and understand the expectations. Let your marketing show how you have contributed in these areas presently or in the past and how you will also contribute your technical expertise towards the attainment of Mainone's goals.
