Entry Level Network Operations Analyst Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level network operations analyst job?
Start by building hands-on familiarity with network monitoring tools, ticketing systems, and basic routing and switching concepts. Entry level employers often look for candidates who have completed a networking certification like CompTIA Network+ or Cisco's CCNA, finished a relevant internship, or built a home lab to demonstrate practical skills. A concise resume that highlights those experiences directly will carry more weight than a long list of coursework.
Which companies hire entry level network operations analysts?
Companies hiring entry level network operations analysts right now include Collabera, Beebe Healthcare, and Gen Digital, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from managed service providers, telecommunications carriers, defense contractors, and large enterprises that run 24/7 network operations centers with structured onboarding for junior analysts.
Are there remote entry level network operations analyst jobs?
Yes, though on-site roles are more common at the entry level given the hands-on nature of network operations center work. About 33% of entry level network operations analyst openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so candidates who prefer flexibility should filter for those roles specifically and confirm whether the position supports full remote or requires periodic on-site shifts.
Are these new grad network operations analyst jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior network operations analyst roles. A posting is typically new grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internship or academic project work in place of professional history, or lists a networking certification as an alternative to a degree. Searching for roles that explicitly mention entry level or junior in the title is a reliable way to find them.
Which industries hire the most entry level network operations analysts?
Entry Level network operations analyst roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Telecommunications, and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this level because they operate large, always-on infrastructure that requires round-the-clock monitoring, creating consistent demand for junior analysts who can staff NOC shifts and escalate issues to senior engineers.
