As a Project Manager – Fibre Analyst, you will be responsible for coordinating and managing the delivery of our customer’s network infrastructure in support of the network fibre services (fiber delivery, dark fibre testing, analysis and data collection, site surveys, etc.) in accordance with planned deployment timeframes contractually negotiated by the customer. The essential function of the role is to act as the service provider to a CommScope customer managing all practical aspects of the CommScope testing and delivery team and will be expected to meet all customer expectations regarding technical skills, performance, and policy compliance.

You will be managing the day-to-day associated deliverables (and customer meetings) - handling demanding situations, keeping projects on track, ensuring that vendors meet standards, resolving issues, working with internal staff and stakeholders, helping CommScope teams/vendors buy into and work towards common goals and deadlines.

You will work closely with the customer technical delivery teams to understand the terms of new network deliveries and arrangements including delivery targets and technical requirements. Project Managers also work closely with internal project management teams to communicate target completion dates and ensure that all internal requirements are being met in a timely manner.

• Serve as secondary customer contact for these activities during implementation phase. Escalate up customer management chains as necessary if delivery timelines are at risk.
• Lead kickoff and regular project status meetings while keeping downstream teams apprised of project and delivery status. Manage exceptions and communicate issues and risks to the rest of the organization.
• Obtain, distribute, and maintain all customer handover documentation. i.e., Floorplans, LOA/CFA, DLR, Completion notification, test results, and technical drawings while working with customer and CommScope staff to coordinate and facilitate service and site acceptance activities.
