• Assisting lead engineers, on-site installation leads, and the WAN transport manager with the activation of WAN circuits
• Supporting the WAN transport manager on critical initiatives related to global WAN circuit procurement, market analysis, and diversity/avoidance criteria, assisting in collaborating with stakeholders (DISA, DIA CMO, commercial vendors, OGAs, and design teams) to help formulate strategic circuit plans that meet project milestones
• Working with site personnel, under the guidance of the WAN transport manager, to gather and determine foundational WAN connection requirements
• Maintaining configuration management of site documents pertaining to WAN circuit pathways and statuses, as directed by the WAN transport manager
• Performing basic SharePoint data entry to ensure global network architecture documentation remains accurate, updating site data including: circuit paths, circuit status, site drawing packages, site-specific equipment layouts, and port assignments

• Coordinating with the logistics team, on behalf of the WAN transport manager, to arrange the shipping of necessary fiber for site cross-connects
• Requesting Ready-for-Use (RFU) status from DISA for circuits once all prerequisites (cross-connects, IRs, and EWOs) have been verified by the WAN transport manager
• Interfacing with commercial vendors, under the direction of the WAN transport manager, to facilitate the activation and troubleshooting of commercial WAN circuits and trunks
• Monitoring Status of Acquisition (SAM) messages to identify circuit modification requirements, escalating complex design issues to the WAN transport manager
• Maintaining required user access for WAN transport management tools and databases including TCOSS, WWOLS, SIPR, HTS Network, EECAMs, and IIEx
