Mentorship & Collaboration: Work within a balanced team environment featuring a diverse mix of junior and senior engineering talent.

Safety & Excellence Focused: Play a vital role in mitigating corporate risk and maintaining compliance in high-stakes industrial environments.

Responsibilities
1. Physical & Logical Network Design
Design and commission telecommunication networks systems and physical telecom infrastructure, explicitly managing elements like rack space, power allocation, and cabling layouts.

Analyze requirements for TCP/IP-based network and telecommunications systems at industrial field facilities.

Generate comprehensive, cost-effective engineering designs tailored for Corporate, SCADA, and Control System networks.

2. Project Execution & Commissioning
Actively manage projects from the conceptual design phase through to successful remote commissioning.

Translate complex business and operational requirements into technical designs that fully align with regulatory requirements and corporate standards.

Ensure strict adherence to quality assurance processes to complete projects on schedule and eliminate safety or financial risks.

Strong background in managing the network deployment lifecycle from design to remote commissioning.

Technical Skills Required
Deep understanding of TCP/IP-based network architecture and telecommunications systems.

Capability to design segmented, secure networks (Corporate vs. SCADA/Control Systems).

Preferred Skills & Assets (Nice to Have)
Previous hands-on experience working directly in the field at industrial facilities.

Technical knowledge of RS-232 serial protocols.

Basic understanding of industrial control system end devices, such as RTUs, PLCs, and HMIs.

Ways of Working
Risk Minimization Mindset: A strong commitment to quality assurance and safety.

Adaptability: Ability to thrive under general supervision in a fast-paced, schedule-driven environment.

Exceptional Communication: Clear articulation of technical concepts and a strong focus on customer service.

Summary
Our Client is seeking an energetic and mature Telecommunications & Network Design Engineer to apply professional engineering practices in designing and commissioning telecom network systems and physical infrastructure. Operating within Our Client’s Information Services (IS) strategy, this role is critical to supporting lifecycle, growth, and operational enhancement projects. You will be a cohesive member of a collaborative team composed of both junior and senior telecom engineers, working under general supervision to deliver high-quality, schedule-driven results.
