Network technician resume example

A network technician installs, configures and maintains the equipment that connects a company's computers, phones and servers.

On a typical day, you might patch cables in a technical room, replace a faulty switch, configure VLANs and Wi-Fi access points for a new floor, update a firewall rule at a colleague's request, or trace why a branch office has lost its connection to the head office. You keep the network documentation and the inventory up to date, follow tickets in the ticketing tool and escalate complex problems to the network engineer. Some technicians work in-house for a company or a hospital; many others work for an integrator or an ESN and travel between client sites, or for telecom operators deploying fibre and business links. On-call duty and interventions outside office hours are common when changes cannot disrupt users.

Career change

Tips

  • List the brands and equipment you have configured, not only those you have seen.
  • Mention your BTS, BUT or titre professionnel clearly, as French recruiters use it to judge your level.
  • Include CCNA or other certifications with the year, even if in progress.
  • Say if you have a driving licence and accept travel, since many roles cover several sites.
  • Note any electrical safety habilitation, sometimes requested for work in technical rooms.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Describing yourself as a network engineer when the experience is mainly support.
  • Omitting field experience like cabling and installation, which many employers value.
  • Forgetting to say whether you have done on-call or night work.
  • A list of protocols with no example of a problem you solved.

Working as a network technician in France

No licence is needed to work as a network technician in France, but diplomas weigh heavily in hiring. The usual diplomas are the BTS SIO (option SISR, solutions d'infrastructure, systèmes et réseaux), the BUT Réseaux et télécommunications, and the titre professionnel TSSR (Technicien supérieur systèmes et réseaux), often prepared in work-study. CCNA is widely valued. For work in technical rooms or on electrical installations, some employers require an electrical safety habilitation, issued by the employer after a short training. A driving licence is often asked for. Search with « technicien réseaux », « technicien systèmes et réseaux », « technicien réseaux et télécoms » and « technicien d'intervention réseau ».

Frequently asked questions

Is CCNA required for network technician jobs in France?

It is not required, but it is the most frequently mentioned certification in French job ads for this role. It shows you understand switching and routing beyond basic support. If you are preparing it, write « CCNA in progress » with the expected date.

Should I put my driving licence on my resume?

Yes. Many network technician roles involve travel between client sites or branch offices, sometimes with a company vehicle. French recruiters often filter on it, so put it in your personal details or at the end of the resume.

How do I show cabling experience?

Describe the type of installation (copper, fibre, racks), the testing tools you used and the documentation you produced. Cabling done carefully saves hours of troubleshooting later, and employers who deploy networks on site look for it specifically.
