IT Support – Operations, North America and Libya Project Support

Location: Calgary, AB

Pure Technologies is a world leader in the development and application of innovative technologies for inspection, monitoring and management of physical infrastructure. From monitoring the health of large bridges to protecting pipelines, our technologies and expertise are being used around the world to help manage deterioration and reduce loss.

From our data management centre in Calgary, Canada, our engineers and physicists maintain the systems, analyze the data and provide owners with continuous on-line updates on the condition of their infrastructure. Our specialist engineering subsidiaries help owners to make sense of the data. They provide inspection and assessment expertise, and develop cost-effective management and maintenance strategies to prolong the life of valuable assets.

The long term monitoring of Pure Technologies bridges, structures and pipelines is dependent upon continual support from IT. The IT function for on-going operational support is vital in ensuring site functionality and effective operations in order to provide timely wire break or other site related activity to our clients.

Pure is seeking a highly motivated individual to provide IT support for our Libya operations from our Calgary office, with periodic travel to our Libya office in Ajdabiya, in conjunction with our technical support and monitoring of the Man-Made River Project (MRA). The Man-Made River Project in Libya is one of the world’s largest water projects. Phase I of the project includes over 1500km of four-meter diameter pipeline carrying water from aquifers under the Sahara Desert to the populated coastal regions. Over the past 10 years in Libya, Pure has delivered multiple technologies and currently monitors over 400km of the pipeline with its SoundPrint® system.
