Location: Remote (with travel cadence for meetings and workshops)
Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced Technical Analyst to support delivery of a complex Field Service Management (FSM) platform implementation for a utilities client. This role bridges business requirements and technical execution: translating functional needs into technical specifications, supporting solution configuration, and ensuring the platform is implemented correctly, tested thoroughly, and delivered successfully.
You will work with a cross-functional delivery team that includes the Technical Project Manager, Solution Architect, Product Developers, and Product Solution Architects.
Key Responsibilities
Requirements & Technical Analysis
- Analyze and document detailed technical and functional requirements for the FSM implementation, working closely with business stakeholders and the Solution Architect.
- Translate business requirements into technical specifications, configuration workbooks, user stories, and functional design documents.
- Conduct gap analysis between out-of-the-box FSM capabilities and client-specific requirements.
- Support development of solution design documents, data mapping specifications, and integration requirements.
Solution Configuration & Implementation Support
- Support configuration of the FSM platform (scheduling rules, work order types, service territories, mobile workflows, dispatch logic) based on approved designs.
- Partner with Product Developers and Product Solution Architects to validate that builds align with documented requirements and architecture standards.
- Assist in designing and validating integrations with adjacent platforms (GIS, OMS, ERP, CRM, IoT/telemetry).
- Support data migration, including mapping, cleansing, validation, and reconciliation.
Testing & Quality Assurance
- Develop test plans, test cases, and test scripts that validate FSM functionality against business requirements.
- Lead or support System Integration Testing (SIT), User Acceptance Testing (UAT), and regression cycles.
- Log, track, and manage defects through resolution, working with Product Developers to prioritize and validate fixes.
- Ensure traceability between requirements, configuration/build, and test coverage.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Provide the Technical Project Manager with status updates, risks, and issues, and support planning and reporting.
- Work with the Solution Architect and Product Solution Architects to align solutions with overall architecture and scalability requirements.
- Partner with Product Developers to clarify requirements, review builds, and troubleshoot implementation issues.
- Support business analysts and end users during design workshops, walkthroughs, and training sessions.
Documentation & Knowledge Transfer
- Maintain current technical documentation, configuration guides, and runbooks throughout the project lifecycle.
- Support development of training materials and knowledge transfer documentation for client teams.
- Contribute to lessons-learned sessions and continuous improvement of implementation methodology and reusable assets.
- Support cutover planning, deployment, and go-live readiness assessments.
- Provide post-go-live hypercare, triaging and resolving technical issues with the delivery team.
Qualifications
Education
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Advanced degree (MBA or Master's) preferred.
Required Skills and Experience
- 7+ years as a Technical Analyst, Systems Analyst, or similar technical delivery role in enterprise software implementations.
- Hands‑on experience implementing or supporting FSM or workforce management platforms (e.g., Salesforce Field Service, ServiceMax, IFS Field Service Management, Oracle Field Service Cloud, ClickSoftware).
- Utilities industry experience (electric, gas, water) strongly preferred, particularly with field operations, mobile workforce, or asset management systems.
- Full implementation lifecycle experience: requirements, design, configuration/build, testing, deployment, and hypercare.
- Experience in a consulting or systems integrator environment on client‑facing engagements.
- Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to translate complex business needs into technical solutions.
- Solid understanding of integration concepts (APIs, middleware, data mapping/ETL) in utilities technology ecosystems.
- Working knowledge of relational databases and SQL for analysis, validation, and troubleshooting.
- Familiarity with Agile and traditional delivery methodologies (Scrum, SAFe, Waterfall).
- Experience with requirements and defect tracking tools (Jira, Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, or similar).
- Strong written and verbal communication across technical and business stakeholders.
- Detail‑oriented, with strong documentation discipline and testing rigor.
- Ability to travel to client sites (domestic and/or international) as each project requires.
