    Knowledge/Skills

    Knowledge: Describe the nature of knowledge required to accomplish objectives. Consider specific professional or technical knowledge, product or systems knowledge, etc. (see pages 5&6 for additional details on required information)

    The role will typically be guided by more senior level managers, however those candidates who build or start with appropriate experience and/or knowledge of trunked radio networks (P25), backhaul & dispatch networks will be looked upon to operate in a more independent fashion

    The particular technical fields of knowledge for the role include:

  • Telecommunications or related field with particular focus in the Land Mobile Radio(LMR) field
  • Design and configuration, RF antenna systems, LMR systems and data networking;
  • Knowledge of conventional UHF and VHF radio communications systems
  • Knowledge of SQL, MS Access, Auto Cad, MapInfo, Planet EV
  • Knowledge of IP-based networks, Windows and Solaris server systems
  • The candidate will be working directly with customers, typically public and public safety organization as well as internal departments outside of the technical areas (such as sales & account management). As such, both verbal and written communication are essential along with an organized and analytical approach. Key skills include

  • Excellent organizational, prioritization and time management skills
  • Experience with customer interface/issue resolution
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills;

    Education/Experience:

  • A degree or certificate in Electrical Engineering, Computer Sciences, Engineering Technology or equivalent
  • Basic IT proficiency including experience in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Visio
  • Strong Project Management skills
  • Solid Business and Financial Acumen
  • Extended Knowledge in other aspects of telecommunications
  • Problem Solving

  • Request for Proposals and/or Change Orders to existing contracts are a weekly occurrence. The candidate will be engaged on the front end to read through and analyze the request and subsequently build a solution and associated costing set, or question and challenge the base assumptions of the request. Engagement with the customer and the account manager is typically necessary, while the candidate determines the appropriate design and options available. Challenges include, narrowing down assumptions and inclusions to form a viable and appropriately acceptable cost point solution.
  • Managing network or component upgrade paths are part of the ongoing requirements of the role. This means keeping track of current and future releases with the vendor and internally, as well as understanding the timing and functionality of each version. Customer discussions and coordination it required to ensure minimal customer impact while safeguarding appropriate support and servicing.
  • Network issues and troubles can come in at any time, and although the role not the first line of support, it is incumbent on the candidate to support escalations when required. IN these cases, there is little and sometimes contradicting information which the candidate will be required to sort through analyze and assist technical and vendor specialist with trouble shooting.
