Documentation will be part of your rhythm-keeping network topologies, configurations, and procedures clear and up to date. You'll also work closely with client teams, offering mentorship and helping elevate their technical capabilities.

Beyond that, you'll support procurement, vendor coordination, and continuous improvement efforts. You'll also oversee FTTX installation and upgrade projects and help maintain CGNAT platforms to ensure high-speed, reliable performance.
