Network Associate information

What are some typical challenges a Network Associate may face during network troubleshooting, and how can they be addressed?

Network Associates often encounter issues such as intermittent connectivity, hardware failures, or configuration errors. These challenges require strong analytical skills to diagnose the root cause, as well as familiarity with common network diagnostic tools and protocols. Collaborating with senior network engineers and documenting troubleshooting steps are effective strategies to resolve problems efficiently and prevent recurrence. Staying current with emerging technologies and regular training can also help Network Associates handle complex issues more confidently.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Network Associate, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Network Associate, you need foundational knowledge of networking concepts, troubleshooting, and security, typically backed by a degree in information technology or a related field. Familiarity with network hardware, Cisco or Juniper devices, and certifications like CompTIA Network+ or Cisco CCNA are commonly required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication help you excel in supporting users and collaborating with IT teams. These skills and qualifications ensure reliable network performance, minimize downtime, and contribute to overall organizational productivity.

Job description

About Allied 

Allied is a leading owner-operator of distinctive urban workspace in Canada's major cities. Our work is grounded in a clear purpose: to provide knowledge-based organizations with distinctive urban environments that support creativity, connectivity and human wellness. 

Our vision is more expansive. We seek to make a continuous contribution to cities and culture that elevates and inspires the humanity in all of us. This vision informs how we operate, how we design and how we lead.  

Real estate, for us, is not a passive investment. It is a profoundly human endeavour, one that must promote wellness, sustainability, diversity and creativity-today and for generations to come. 

Allied is also a place to build a career of consequence. If you are looking for work that is thoughtful, tangible and enduring-work that contributes meaningfully to cities and the people who inhabit them-you will find purpose here.  

For more information on Allied's approach to city-building, visit our Insights page.  

Purpose

Oversee the design, implementation, and operational performance of network infrastructure across a national portfolio of commercial real estate assets, ensuring reliable connectivity, security, and user experience standards across Allied's environments. As Analyst, Network Infrastructure, you will support both hands-on network operations and infrastructure planning, contributing to the stability, scalability, and continuous improvement of network systems. 

Reporting to the Director, IT Infrastructure, you will collaborate closely with Technical Services, Security, and internal teams to deliver high-performing and resilient network environments.

  • Perform Wi-Fi spectrum analysis to plan and assess wireless coverage.
  • Cable tracing: Use of cable toner and fiber pens to identify cable runs and connectivity.
  • Document IT infrastructure, identifying key information such as POPs, MDFs, IDFs, Wi-Fi antennas, circuit numbers, riser rooms, and conduits.

IT/OT Operations:

  • Responsible for the day-to-day operation and management of the network.
  • Proactively monitor and test networks to ensure they remain within operational standards.
  • Install and configure all network hardware and equipment, such as firewalls, routers, switches, access points, and UPSs.
  • Plan and implement improvements, modifications, or replacements of network infrastructure components.

Customer Support:

  • Able to maintain a high level of user satisfaction.
  • Communicate and guide end-users to resolve networking issues.
  • Work on incoming service tickets.
Qualifications

Must have:

  • Certification as a CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate), CND (Certified Network Defender), and/or equivalent experience.
  • Core knowledge of networking protocols, network communications and the OSI model.
  • Experience with Cisco IOS, ArubaOS and/or Palo Alto.
  • Ability to lift networking equipment.
  • Researching new technologies, providing demonstrations, and presentations.
  • Communicating effectively with a diverse group with varying levels of technical knowledge.

Would be an asset:

  • Bilingual in French and English (strong asset).
  • Experience with Meshtastic and other long range wireless communication technologies such as LoraWAN, Wifi Halow, etc.
  • Experience with scripting of IT automation systems such as Python, Nornir, or Ansible.

  • Experience with cloud technologies: AWS and Azure.
  • Experience with network management and monitoring systems such as Zabbix, Netbox, Nethook etc.
  • Experience with Palo Alto, Aruba, Cisco, Meraki, Fortinet, or whiteboxes.
  • Experience with Network Authentication Controls.
  • Experience using packet capture tools and discovery fundamentals.
  • Experience with architectural or electrical drawings.
$80,000 - $95,000 a year

Allied determines individual compensation by work location and other factors, including relevant experience, education and internal equity.  

Note: The listed salary range does not reflect total compensation and rewards. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply. 

This role is a current vacancy on the Allied team. 

Total Rewards* and the Employee Experience 

At Allied, total rewards are designed with the same perspective that shapes our operations. They are intended to support sustained contribution, creativity and a genuine sense of ownership in the work we do. 

In practice, this includes: 

  • Shared financial success and an ownership mindset 
    Eligible employees participate in performance-based bonus programs and a retirement savings program, with the option to invest in traditional funds or Allied units. This approach aligns individual effort with Allied's long-term performance and reinforces a sense of ownership at every level of the organization. 

  • Intentional presence and time off
    In addition to vacation, employees receive six personal days and half-days before statutory holidays. Allied supports flexibility while maintaining a strong, in-person culture. This reflects how we collaborate most effectively and how we operate as a business. 

  • Health, wellbeing and support 
    Comprehensive, company-paid health benefits include vision and dental coverage, along with a healthcare spending account. An employee assistance program is available to provide confidential support when it is needed. 

  • Growth through leadership and exposure 
    Allied believes in leadership at every level. Employees are encouraged to contribute beyond the boundaries of their role, collaborate across disciplines and develop a broad understanding of the business. For those drawn to real estate, this includes uncommon exposure to how buildings, organizations and cities evolve through hands-on experience and shared responsibility. 

  • Professional development grounded in practice 
    Learning at Allied is both formal and experiential. Ongoing professional development and a mentorship program support growth through structured learning and day-to-day engagement with experienced colleagues across the organization. 

  • Purpose and connection beyond work
    Each year, employees are provided with a paid volunteer day to contribute time and effort to a cause that is personally meaningful to them, reflecting our belief that contribution extends beyond the workplace. 

If you are motivated by the role real estate plays in shaping cities and culture, and want your work to contribute to that effort, we encourage you to apply. 

More insight into life at Allied, including our ESG and EDI initiatives, can be found in our annual ESG report. 

*Temporary or contract roles may not qualify for all the benefits listed, and some roles may follow a modified total rewards structure. We will confirm what benefits you qualify for during the recruitment process.
