Station and Operations Technician

The Santander Submarine Cable Station is located within the Spain Local Network Office area, in the EMEA Network Infrastructure Management, which in turn is part of the Telxius Cable Network and Operations Directorate. From the LNO, the infrastructures located in EMEA are managed—whether owned or belonging to third parties—in which Telxius has its Network equipment, whether for the IP network or the Capacity network, as well as the Landing Stations of the different submarine cables. We provide support for the operation of our own Network as well as for the provision of new services, where we provide local support to expedite or manage contacts, perform connections, or assist in the resolution of network-related incidents, among other tasks.
