Computer Network Technician - Canadian Musicians Co-operative

Information Technology (IT) Team - Canada Wide (7 Job Titles) 

The Information Technology team provides daily technical supports for all co-op members, summer participants, and summer programming. They also prepare for Fall/Winter technical needs. Working in small groups, and serving all departments, youth in these roles develop confidence and begin to master skills used in their analysis, problem solving, communication and overall participation in the workplace. Our waterfall mentorship model means you will help others to learn things you are already an expert in and others will help you learn things you are working on yourself. These roles are progressive over the summer and youth are afforded as much scope and responsibility as they are willing and able to handle. It's a great way to 'level up' in a team setting where your voice and opinions genuinely make a difference daily. 

We use G-Suites for Non Profits, Slack, Discord, Freshdesk, and a number of other smaller products. There are computers, printers, IP telephones and other devices on site, and at remote locations across Canada.

Full-time summer employment contracts range from 8 -16 weeks, April through September. Post-secondary students are welcomed and encouraged to apply for this position as part of their program’s requirements for a co-op or work placement. Contracts for most roles are offered at the Ontario minimum wage.

Some roles follow a hybrid work structure where employees both work from home or in person, as needed, based on demands of specific tasks and/or personal work preferences. Working from the office/studio/meeting location is encouraged when working on tasks that require a high degree of collaboration. Training and Workshops may be online or in-person, as needed.
