About the Opportunity:

Our client, a leader in Technology and Innovation, is looking for a skilled Telecommunications Network Administrator to join their team for a 6-month engagement. This project involves managing the lifecycle of telecommunications services, ensuring robust, accurate, and timely network connectivity across the organization as they expand into new cities. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:

This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:
  • Connectivity Management & Procurement: Drive the end-to-end process for all data service orders (MACD—Move, Add, Change, Disconnect), including Broadband/DIA, Fiber, EPL, and WISP services. Identify new circuit needs and manage the full ordering process with Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) and long-distance providers.
  • Vendor & Carrier Management: Serve as the main point of contact for telecom carriers (e.g., AT&T, Verizon, Lumen), responsible for submitting complete order packages, scheduling installations, driving Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and aggressively resolving service issues to meet deadlines.
  • Technical Provisioning and Integration: Oversee the technical activation and turn-up of new circuits and associated equipment, ensuring strict adherence to project requirements and technical standards. Configure and maintain network devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls, to seamlessly interface with external telecom circuits.
  • Operational Support and Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve circuit-level issues, particularly during the testing and activation phases. Collaborate with the Network Engineering team on both major project rollouts and daily operational support initiatives.
  • Inventory & Documentation: Maintain a comprehensive and accurate inventory of all active circuits, documenting critical details such as IDs, physical locations, associated costs, and contract expiration dates.
Required Skills & Experience:

We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:
  • 3+ years of experience in a similar role.
  • Proven ability to manage vendor and carrier relationships to effectively drive and meet aggressive project deadlines.
  • Exceptional attention to detail is essential for tracking complex circuit IDs, maintaining billing accuracy, and ensuring timely circuit delivery.
  • Deep functional knowledge of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, VLANs, and routing protocols (e.g., BGP, OSPF).
  • Knowledge of diverse telecom standards and circuit types (Fiber, EPL’s, Wave, DF, Broadband, DIA, etc.).
  • Typically requires a Bachelor’s degree in IT or Computer Science.
  • Industry certifications such as CCNA or Network+ are highly desirable.
  • Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
  • W2 only (No C2C or 1099 contractors)
