We are looking for a Transition Engineer to lead critical integration and platform transition efforts for a Long-term Contract assignment based in Eastaboga, Alabama. This role focuses on ensuring reliable connectivity between external providers, enterprise transportation systems, and internal dispatch tools while supporting operational continuity. The ideal candidate will bring strong systems integration experience, sound change control practices, and the ability to translate business process needs into stable technical solutions.
Responsibilities:
Lead the company-side readiness for provider cutover activities, including network routing, certificate setup, and end-to-end connection validation.
Track transaction flow from the external provider through the McLeod platform and into the internal dispatch environment to confirm data integrity across systems.
Adjust the dispatch application only where necessary so it can accept and process the incoming feed with minimal disruption to operations.
Plan and execute rollback rehearsals and full-cycle testing, including month-end validation, to confirm production readiness before final transition.
Partner with the designated McLeod specialist to coordinate integration behavior, align mapping dependencies, and resolve handoff issues efficiently.
Decommission legacy integrations by confirming inactivity, retiring obsolete interfaces, and documenting shutdown steps for affected systems.
Evaluate an external customer portal and provide a clear recommendation on whether it should be retired, modernized, or replaced.
Support the move of dispatch decisioning into the McLeod planning board by converting documented business rules into actionable system configuration requirements.
Maintain operational ownership of Linux-based servers and related applications, ensuring stability, controlled changes, and complete technical documentation throughout the engagement.
Requirements
Experience leading ERP or enterprise platform integration efforts involving external providers and internal operational systems.
Strong understanding of network connectivity, certificates, interface validation, and end-to-end transaction troubleshooting.
Ability to manage controlled cutovers, rollback planning, and production-readiness testing in business-critical environments.
Hands-on experience translating documented process logic into system configuration or application requirements.
Working knowledge of Linux server administration and application support in a production setting.
Familiarity with change management practices and creating clear business or technical requirement documentation.
Exposure to enterprise technologies such as ABAP, Epicor, or Oracle NetSuite is preferred.
Ability to assess legacy applications or interfaces and recommend practical modernization or retirement strategies.
