  • Focus training across all NOC roles (I, II, III) to ensure readiness.
  • Evaluate new hires and sign off at the end of the training week, reporting outcomes to the Supervisor.
  • Standardize training to ensure consistency, freeing other team members from ad‑hoc onboarding tasks.
  • Support ongoing mentorship and coaching under the direction of the Supervisor.

  • Work closely with the Supervisor and NOC Manager to execute operational priorities and maintain team workflow.
  • Participate in shift handovers and on‑call rotations as needed, escalating issues to the Supervisor when appropriate.

Qualifications:

• 4–6 years of experience in NOC, HPC (high‑performance computing), AI infrastructure, cloud systems, or related.
• Mentorship & Training Leadership: Serve as a key mentor for the team by training and coaching NOC Technician I & II staff, providing day‑to‑day guidance, knowledge transfer, and performance support; requires prior experience mentoring and training junior or lower‑level peers in a technical operations environment (for NOC Technician III only).
