• Manage asset tracking, materials replenishment, tools, and test equipment to ensure operational readiness.
• Participate in preventive maintenance, inspections, and monitoring activities to ensure system reliability and uptime.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in telecommunications, field operations, or data center environments with strong technical expertise.
• Deep knowledge of telecom technologies including DS0, DS1, DS3, SONET/SDH, Ethernet, IP networking, SS7, and routing protocols.
• Hands-on experience with fiber optic systems, transport equipment, and outside plant infrastructure.
• Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex network and hardware issues in the field.
• Experience working with critical infrastructure systems such as DC power plants, HVAC, and high-voltage environments.
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record and willingness to operate in field conditions and outdoor environments.
• Ability to work on-call, overtime, and rotational schedules, including emergency response situations.
• Strong attention to safety protocols, documentation, and operational procedures.
