Fibre Network Specialist, Forced Relocates

Our company

We are about building communities, not just networks. We believe that people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re committed to making life better for our customers, our employees, and the communities where we live and work. Founded in the underserved Toronto neighbourhood of Liberty Village, we’ve always understood the importance of connection. That’s why we committed ourselves to building a fibre-optic network throughout the community and have continued to expand our network ever since. For 30+ years, we have been proud to build, own, and operate an extensive & robust fibre-optic network throughout Toronto & Montreal. Now with 400+ employees, we continue to deploy our own construction, fibre splicing, installation, network operations and support teams. Our services are delivered to thousands of commercial and residential service addresses using Beanfield owned facilities.

We are stronger together than we could ever be alone. When we show up for each other, we can create anything. Being in community is what gives us purpose and meaning.

We Are Different: We know who we are and are creating our own destiny. We see the world differently. We explore. We are curious. We go first and do what others haven’t done before. By thinking differently, we build better.

We Cherish Momentum: Momentum is more than just being busy or ticking items off our to-do list. It’s about nurturing our ideas, creating rituals and routines that align with our priorities, and staying optimistic in the face of setbacks. It’s about feeling in control and being confident that we can find solutions to whatever problems come our way.
