Coordinate with Engineering (Transmission, Outside Plant, Central Office) if needed to notify them of potential challenges with equipment or lack thereof for the customer orders. Identify where equipment is required, and order the equipment for field delivery. Prepare and issue purchase orders in Infinium to request and purchase required network components. Create information on the CLR/DLR to properly dispatch the circuit to Viryanet and the proper techs in the field.
In this hybrid role, you will be expected to collaborate with peers as required but must be located in the Rochester, NY or Fort Wayne, IN area.
What we need in you:
We need you to be highly knowledgeable in telecommunications and telephony circuit design. Hands on experience with M6, TDM architecture and ethernet transport systems is key to success in this role. Your ability to work effectively within a team, communicate with others both over the phone and in person as well as a your willingness to ask for additional guidance and training when necessary will serve you well in this role.
