Career journey
Jordan Carman, a Technical Support Manager in the company’s Managed Services Department, started his career in Information Technology 15 years ago.
“I started out in a Wal-Mart delivery warehouse where I was moving boxes,” he says. “I went to school in Calgary for Computer Sciences majoring in Network Administration and was able to advance to the store’s IT department. I studied different texts on networking and server information and worked towards certifications.”
He moved from Wal-Mart to a media company and then to an oil and gas company in Calgary doing various desktop support, including video conferencing and voice-over IP technology. “I met someone from PEI and moved here to marry her. On PEI, I was hired at Buchanan.”
He says his wide base of knowledge has helped his career on PEI in the last four and a half years he’s been here. “I started out as a Level 2 Engineer then moved to the triage level as Team Lead, and went on to my current role as Technical Support Manager in the Managed Services Department.”
Jordan’s team includes 16 employees spread across Buchanan’s PEI, Alaska, Texas and Bulgaria locations. “My skill set in collaborating and video conferencing helps me to be an effective communicator with people over great distances.”
