  • Develop and workshop best-in-class processes, tools, and systems, including vendor scorecards and KPI reporting
  • Exhibit a bias for action, proactively leading multiple initiatives and ensuring projects stay on track
  • This role may include some travel within the province (BC) but be mostly focused on the Lower Mainland

Qualifications

What you bring:

  • 3+ years’ hands-on experience installing and troubleshooting telecom equipment such as Outside Plant infrastructure, Inside Plant Wireline or Wireless telecom equipment
  • Understanding of telecommunications standards for physical infrastructure installations (TOPPS)
  • Excels in managing multiple projects and deliverables end to end with ease
  • Ability to work independently, innovate and identify solutions to complex issues
  • Ability to analyze data, in order to prioritize and develop transformational programs and influence results / KPI performance
  • Excels in navigating and thriving within ambiguous environments, demonstrating adaptability and resilience in problem-solving and decision-making
  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills

Great-to-haves

  • Ability to read civil, construction and electrical drawings would be an asset
  • Knowledge of business intelligence software such as Google Looker Studio, or Tableau would be an asset
