ICT technician
Wire and radio connections have been the most common ICT links until recently. However, widespread implementation of new technologies such as optical links and fibres is observed these days. An ICT technician is a profession that involves installing, starting, configuring, and maintaining modern devices as parts of ICT networks.
The job of an ICT technician is mostly connected with ensuring continuous operation of radio system devices, transponders, TV, ICT, and radio broadcasting devices. Their professional duties include monitoring transmission signal parameters and device quality control. That’s why a person who works in this position should be generally familiar with analogue and digital electronics, and have detailed knowledge of optical fibre optoelectronics.
The labour market offers a number of career opportunities for ICT technicians. Dynamic development of the field forces them to continually improve their skills and learn new technological solutions. The ability to manage computer‑related tasks, including ICT software, is a must. Technical skills, diligence, patience and active involvement in the job are no less important. It is not uncommon for an ICT technician to work under pressure, so they must also be composed. Perfect candidates for the job should be team players, too.
The job involves operating various devices such as different types of meters, and it is often carried out outdoors. Failures of equipment or entire networks often come unexpected and therefore an ICT technician must be available all day long.
An ICT technician can find employment in companies that are in ICT and IT industry, as well as in those that provide service of ICT equipment.
Qualified specialists usually work in well‑equipped air‑conditioned, ventilated, and well‑lit facilities. Sometimes ICT technicians are exposed to intense noise. On the bright side, however, the job is highly stimulating, challenging and rewarding.
