  • Prepare clear daily, weekly, and monthly technical status reports for stakeholders.
  • Coordinate onsite activities within active rail environments, including rightofway access and safety compliance.
  • Identify obsolete equipment and cabling suitable for removal and support documentation updates.
  • Monitor assigned task funding and provide early notification as funding thresholds are approached.

  • Experience reviewing vendor technical submittals and coordinating field activities in live operational environments.
  • Ability to produce clear, structured technical documentation and reports.
  • Working knowledge of FCC regulations applicable to radio systems.


Preferred
