  • Lead network engineering projects including new deployments, upgrades, migrations, service turn-ups, hardware refreshes, and architecture modernization initiatives.
  • Perform discovery, assessments, and technical reviews of existing environments to identify risks, gaps, and opportunities for improved performance, resiliency, scalability, and security.
  • Develop high-level and low-level designs, statements of work support, implementation plans, Method of Procedure (MOP) documents, rollback plans, test plans, and client-ready technical documentation.
  • Provide technical leadership during implementations, coordinate dependencies across internal teams and client stakeholders, and help drive projects to successful completion.
  • Collaborate with project managers, network operations, cybersecurity teams, vendors, field resources, and client contacts to ensure high-quality delivery across consulting and managed services engagements.
  • Provide advanced troubleshooting and escalation support for complex service-affecting issues, post-deployment stabilization, and critical incidents when needed.
  • Analyze alarms, logs, utilization trends, and performance data to identify root causes, support capacity planning, and improve network reliability.
