4. Documentation & Milestone Tracking

• Own preparation and validation of PAC/FAC documentation and reports
• Ensure completeness of as-built drawings, test results, and acceptance records
• Track milestones linked to project completion, billing, and claim readiness
  
  
  

5. Reporting & Data Visibility

• Produce accurate daily/weekly rollout reports and dashboards
• Maintain data integrity across project tools and reporting systems
• Provide clear visibility on progress, site readiness, risks, and issues
• Risk & Escalation Management
• Identify, track, and drive resolution of site delays, vendor issues, and deployment bottlenecks
• Enforce follow-ups and ensure issues are resolved to closure
• Escalate critical issues with impact analysis and recommended actions

Education and/or Work Experience Requirements:

• Bachelor's Degree in Telecommunications, Computer Science, Engineering or related fields.
• Minimum 3-7 years of experience in telecom, cloud, or infrastructure, or project coordination.
• Hands-on exposure to network deployment projects (fiber, RAN, or IT infrastructure) and multi-site rollout environments
• Solid understanding of telecom deployment lifecycle, site acquisition (SAQ), permitting, and testing/acceptance workflows (PAC/FAC)
• Strong project coordination and execution tracking capability, with ability to manage multiple sites and dependencies concurrently
• Proficient in project management and reporting tools (e.g. Excel, MS Project, Planner) for tracking schedules, milestones, and reporting
• High attention to detail with structured approach to documentation, reporting, and audit-ready record maintenance
• Strong stakeholder coordination and communication skills across vendors, contractors, field teams, and internal stakeholders
• Ability to drive follow-through, resolve issues, and manage timelines under pressure in a fast-paced environment
