GLOBACOM Limited has invited applications from bright, ambitious and suitably qualified candidates to fill an array of vacancies, including those of Chief Technical Officer, Planning and Provisioning Engineers, Sales and Legal Officers.
This development is coming as the company prepares to launch of commercial services of its Glo 1 Submarine Cable.
A statement from the company said the advertised positions attract internationally competitive remuneration packages.
According to Mr. Adewale Sangowawa, Globacom’s executive director for human resources, the company is looking for first class brains and competent hands from across Nigeria, other African countries as well as from America, Europe and Asia. “As an equal opportunity employer, our corporate policy stretches across all races, countries and genders,” Sangowawa said. “We are, in essence, giving Nigerians, Africans and others a chance to contribute to the development of a modern-day telecommunications giant.” Globacom recently became the first single telecommunication company in Africa to own its international submarine cable. The multi-million dollar high capacity Glo 1 optic fibre cable will bring direct connectivity between West Africa, the United Kingdom and the rest of the world.
The 9,800 km-long cable which runs from Bude in the United Kingdom to Lagos, Nigeria with branches into 14 West African countries such as Senegal, Cote D’Ivoire and Ghana, will provide excess bandwidth to all the cities connected to the cable, and lead to a much faster and robust connectivity for voice, data and video.
