Job description

Network Engineer

The Network Engineer will be responsible for leading and managing the team in executing the following work:

• Supporting network upgrades by replacing legacy telecommunication equipment and time division multiplexing (TDM) era technology
• Applying networking principles to assess the type of networking equipment needed on-site to support the site’s needs. Router type, router cards, small form-factor pluggable (SFP), and power requirements will be determined utilizing site survey notes, pictures, 3D scans, and correspondence with site surveyor/design leads
• Design functions will include assessing what networking components are necessary, detailing and drafting designs, developing scope of work for installs, assembling part/equipment bill of material (BOM) requests, and supporting design discussions
• Develop high-level and detailed designs for complex, full-scale utility grid networks.
• Apply telecom principles to develop resilient network solutions, effectively use network protocols and protection scenarios, maintain attention to detail, and ensure the quality of all deliverables.
• Prepare configurations for MPLS, switches, routers, SONET, etc.
• Perform network analysis of existing grid networks and prepare cutover package solution for channel migration from TDM to packet.
• Prepare detailed network block diagram in detail considering new installation (MPLS nodes) as per the scope, removal of old equipment, fiber plan, channel plan, synchronization plan, circuit audits, network topology drawing, DC calculation, panel elevation, QoS values etc.
• Maintain documentation throughout the full project lifecycle, including design revisions, change management, preliminary and construction packages, as-built documents, and transmittal records with the client.
• Maintain seamless communication with cross-functional project stakeholders, team members, and counterparts.
• Ensure project milestones are met on time through effective action planning.
