Who we are: Canadian Fiber Optics Corp (CFOC) is a privately held telecommunications company that designs, builds, and operates fiber optic networks to provide high speed internet services in rural / remote communities. From the design and construction of networks to the provision of end user services, to the on-going support of the fiber networks, CFOC is connecting rural communities with the world.

Why we do it: We believe in the work we do and the legacy it leaves behind. We make meaningful change possible by connecting people, businesses, and industry to the Internet. We do not believe anyone should be forced to leave a community because their Internet connection does not allow them to be as connected as they want, or need, to be. We enable network connections in communities where people choose to build their lives; where they work, where they watch their families grow, and where they choose to give back. We do not believe education, healthcare, connecting with families and friends around the world, or entertainment should be restricted.

We build and operate fast, reliable fiber networks so rural Canadians, and its businesses, can thrive. We are currently looking for a Calgary based Land Administrator position.
