• Infrastructure Maintenance: Perform PMs on critical facility gear: DC Power Plants, high-voltage electrical, and HVAC systems.
• Field Troubleshooting: Identify/replace defective modules, assist in fiber route locating/marking, and support emergency network restoration.
• Inventory & Logistics: Manage on-site assets, process deliveries, and coordinate shipping/receiving.
• Reporting: Update trouble tickets and provide real-time logs on network status.
