Responsibilities

\n
• Design and document modern telecommunications solutions to replace legacy controlled telephony systems as part of a major infrastructure refresh project.
\n
• Produce comprehensive engineering design documentation, including detailed drawing packs, schematics, and low-level design (LLD) deliverables.
\n
• Use CAD software and telecom network drawing tools to create accurate and clear technical diagrams and schematics.
\n
• Develop and maintain low-level designs that align with technical requirements and project standards.
\n
• Ensure that designs support reliable communication across critical infrastructure environments such as rail, oil and gas, and industrial sectors.
\n
• Apply knowledge of controlled telephony systems to design solutions that integrate effectively with existing and new technologies.
\n
• Incorporate transmission and networking technologies, including MPLS, SDH, and optical transmission networks, into design solutions.
\n
• Interpret technical requirements and convert them into detailed engineering documentation that can be used by implementation and operations teams.
