Monitor Ara and Chorus fleet health on a 24/7/365 shift rotation — dashboards, alarm queues and event streams across residential energy stations, bidirectional electric vehicle (EV) charging, solar and battery storage, and home connectivity.Perform first-line triage on every alarm and customer- or partner-impacting event: validate, classify severity, execute runbook remediation and elevate per the escalation matrix.Act as first responder during incidents — open the incident record, run initial diagnostics, maintain the timeline and support the incident commander with status updates and stakeholder notifications.Execute standard remediation actions: remote restart, connectivity and link checks, configuration pushes, firmware and over-the-air (OTA) update verification, and post-change validation.Log every event, action and decision in the ticketing system; keep incident records, timelines and evidence complete and audit-ready.Deliver disciplined shift handovers and shift reports — unresolved, at-risk and watch items escalated explicitly to the incoming shift and to the Head of NOC.Track service level agreement (SLA) clocks for Chorus utility partners: acknowledge and notify within contractual timelines, and flag at-risk breaches immediately.Flag alarm noise, false positives and gaps in runbooks, thresholds or alert routing; propose corrections andmaintain runbook and knowledge-base entries.Coordinate day to day with Field Service (dispatch, parts, truck rolls), Customer Support (Tier 1 boundary) and Engineering (defect intake) during and after events.Support post-incident reviews with accurate timelines, evidence and root-cause input; execute assigned follow-up and corrective actions.Contribute to recurring NOC reporting: fleet and link availability, dispatch success rate, detection/acknowledgement/resolution times (MTTD, MTTA, MTTR) and top recurring faults.Reports to the Head of Network Operations Center (NOC); based in Montreal with NOC floor presence required on shift,
hybrid flexibility outside coverage hours.Individual contributor within a 24/7 team of NOC analysts and shift leads; no direct reports.Rotating shift schedule including nights, weekends and holidays, plus on-call and surge coverage during peak demand periods, grid events and storm or holiday surges.Shift-workplace culture: handover quality, documentation discipline, calm escalation, and adherence to standard operating procedures (SOPs) and runbooks.Works within scope boundaries set with the security operations centre (SOC, i.E. cybersecurity monitoring), platform/cloud site reliability engineering (SRE), corporate IT and Tier 1 customer support.College diploma (DEC) or bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, telecommunications, electrotechnology or equivalent practical experience.ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) Foundation an asset; networking (CCNA, Network+) or EV charging / solar / energy-systems certifications an asset.Experience, background:5+ years in a network operations centre, dispatch centre, utility control room or other 24/7 monitoring and incident-response environment (utilities, EV charging, connected-device fleets or managed services).Hands-on alarm triage, runbook-driven remediation and severity-based escalation under SLA pressure.Experience documenting incidents in a ticketing system and delivering structured shift handovers and shift reports.Exposure to at least one of: connected consumer hardware, energy/grid or distributed energy resource (DER) systems, EV charging, or utility communications.Proven reliability on rotating shifts, including nights,
weekends and holidays.Knowledge:Working knowledge of Internet of Things (IoT) and connected-device fleet operations; energy and distributed energy resource (DER) systems; electric vehicle (EV) charging; utility or network operations.Incident and service-management basics (ITIL): incident, problem and change management; severity classification, escalation practice and post-incident review.Familiarity with industry protocols an asset: OCPP (EV charging), IEEE 2030.5 and CSIP (utility-to-device communication), OpenADR (automated demand response), SunSpec/Modbus (inverters and meters), MQTT (device messaging).Networking and connectivity fundamentals: IP, DNS, cellular and Wi-Fi links, VPN, device connectivity states; plus awareness of utility data‐handling and incident‐reporting requirements.English required; French an asset (to be confirmed at approval).Technical (hard) skills:Monitoring and observability platforms, alerting/paging tools, ticketing systems, knowledge bases and dashboard/KPI reporting.Alarm interpretation and tuning input: thresholds, alert routing, noise suppression, alert-to-incident quality.Runbook execution and remote remediation — restart, config push, firmware/over-the-air (OTA) update verification; scripting literacy (Python, Bash) or SQL an asset.Log and telemetry analysis to isolate faults across device, connectivity and cloud layers.Reporting and data hygiene: accurate ticket data, clean incident timelines, repeatable shift reports.Calm and methodical under pressure, with sound judgment on when to elevate.Clear, concise written communication — incident notes, handovers, status updates and customer- or partner-facing notifications.Documentation discipline and attention to detail; follows procedure reliably with minimal supervision.Team orientation in a shift environment: dependable attendance, clean handovers, willingness to cover peers.Curiosity and continuous improvement — spots recurring faults and pushes for automation over repetition.
