Collaborate with vendors, architects, and infrastructure teams to gather site requirements, review technical designs, close gaps, and validate timelines.
Coordinate contractors and external partners across structured cabling, systems integration, and ISP circuit delivery activities.
Decompose initiatives into epics, work packages, and sprint-sized tasks, and keep project tracking accurate inside Jira.
Manage cross-team dependencies, risks, blockers, and scope or design changes, including their impact on schedule, cost, and standards compliance.
Run Agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, backlog refinement, and retrospectives, and support continuous improvement of delivery processes.
Own site acceptance and handover to Operations, including required documentation and as-built materials, and report status to engineering leadership and PPMO stakeholders.
