Job description

Experience: 5 to 10 years

Industry: IT Services and System Integration

About the Role

Emdee is a 20+ year old system integrator delivering IT infrastructure, software, security and surveillance, IT-enabled services, and manpower solutions primarily to government and public sector clients. It is headquartered in Kolkata and has presence in multiple states.

This role owns the technical correctness of everything we design and install, and supports sales as a technical voice in the bid cycle. You will design IT architecture, build BOQs, and see each design through to a commissioned site, supervising deployments across locations and taking direct charge of the complex ones. On the presales side, you will work alongside sales and business development on technical bids and client presentations. Prior presales/BD experience is prefered as you'd need to engage clients with technical sales.

Note - if your experience entirely entails internal IT ops/admin for an organisation (eg, IT manager, IT admin, IT head), and not customer facing IT delivery (client project execution, field work, presales etc), then this role is not for you.

Key Responsibilities

1. Solution Design and BOQ:

• Understand and engage with technical nuances, IT assets and solution architectures of government and enterprise projects.
• Plan and execute site surveys, requirement gathering and client engagement to then design IT infrastructure from floor plans, drawings, requirements and survey data
• Build and validate technical BOQs covering make and model selection, quantities across sites, passive and accessory items, and installation and service lines, working with procurement and OEMs on specifications, technical compliance and budgetary pricing

2. Execution and Delivery:

• Supervise deployment across project sites and take direct charge of complex or critical installations, leading team of junior network engineers and setting the execution standard for the field team.
• Own commissioning where technical depth is required across networking, end-user compute, surveillance and biometrics, servers and storage, accessories and peripherals, signages/displays, AV/VC and smart classroom systems, and resolve faults escalated by field engineers
• Coordinate site readiness, material accountability, and installation sequencing with the delivery and procurement teams. Drive acceptance testing, snag closure, client handover, and as-built documentation to a standard that stands up to departmental inspection

3. Presales and Bid support:

• Engage existing and prospective government/enterprise stakeholders for business development, opportunity farming and technically-grounded pitches and proposals.
• Build working relationships with clients, OEMs, and channel partners, to generate sales pipeline.
• Work with sales and business development to review government and public sector opportunities (tenders, RFPs, EOIs, GeM bids), and be the technical authority.
• Join requirement discovery, site visits, and pre-bid meetings, and help shape the solution to the client's need and the tender's evaluation criteria and prepare the technical content of bids
• Support presentations, demos, and proofs of concept for clients and evaluation committees, and help address technical queries during evaluation

Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor's degree or Diploma in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics, Electrical, or a related engineering discipline
• 6 to 10 years in IT infrastructure and network engineering, with demonstrated experience designing and executing multi-site deployments
• Experience with a system integrator, IT OEM, or infrastructure services company. Government and PSU project experience preferred
• Good communication skills and prior experience in technical sales / presales / business development or equivalent exposure to client facing engagements
• Ability to design infrastructure from floor plans, drawings, and survey data: topology, device placement, cable routing, IP schema, PoE and power budgeting, and storage and bandwidth sizing
• Proven ability to build and validate technical BOQs, including make and model selection, quantity derivation across sites, and passive and accessory items
• Strong hands-on depth across active and passive networking: managed and PoE switching, routing, VLANs, DHCP and DNS, firewalls and VPN, wireless, structured cabling, fibre and UTP, patch panels, racks, and cable management
• Practical experience across IP surveillance and NVR systems, biometric devices, servers and storage, UPS and power, endpoints and peripherals, and AV, video conferencing and smart classroom systems
• Working familiarity with OEM ecosystems across networking, surveillance, compute, and power, including product fitment, specification and budgetary price discovery, support escalation, and warranty processes
• Experience supervising field engineers and vendors on site, with accountability for installation quality and schedule
• Ability to read tender specifications and respond on technical compliance
• Documentation discipline: topology drawings, as-built records, IP and asset registers, and handover documents
• Certifications such as CCNA, CCNP, or equivalent are an advantage
• Based in Kolkata or willing to relocate. Travel to project sites across states is a requirement of this role
