Implementation Engineer

Role Overview

• Job Titles: Technical Facilities Equipment Engineer (V3 Organization)
• Number of Openings: 2
• Locations:
• Position 1: Tulsa, OK (12223 State Farm Blvd).
• Position 1: DFW Area, TX (Can work out of Richardson, Irving/600 Hidden Ridge, or the Euless switch/MTSO).
• Work Model: Hybrid (3 days in office, 2 days remote). Note: This is not a desk job; engineers will frequently walk the floors and conduct site walks.
• Organization Context: This is a brand-new "V3" organization that bridges the gap between Wireless (W) and Business (B) engineering to oversee installations across Central Offices, Data Centers, and TAP/SAP locations.

Key Responsibilities (Day-in-the-Life)

• Project Management: Managing the end-to-end installation of network transport and 5G core equipment.
• Vendor Supervision: Overseeing third-party vendors who perform the physical installation (nuts, bolts, and fiber). The engineer does not do the physical labor but ensures it meets Verizon standards.
• Site Walks: Conducting site assessments to identify space, power, cooling, and material needs (ancillary materials like fiber jumpers, nuts, and bolts).
• System Work: Using Verizon-specific systems: Canvas (replacing CCP), Fuse, and internal project management databases.
• Quality Control: Performing "Construction Complete" walkthroughs and coordinating Layer 1 connectivity testing.

Candidate Requirements

Top Skills & Experience

• Installation Background: Experience installing network equipment in Central Offices (CO), Data Centers, or MTSO/MTSO locations.
• Technical Familiarity: Understanding of floor plans, rack layouts, and "Hot/Cold" aisle standards.
• Power & Cooling: Familiarity with power and space requirements inside a facility.
• Willingness to Learn: Highly emphasized, as the team is currently cross-training across both Wireless and Business platforms.

Experience Level & Background

• Verizon Experience: A plus but not required. Experience from competitors (AT&T, Nokia, etc.) or military technical backgrounds is highly valued.
• Education: Hands-on experience is preferred over a degree, though both are valued.
• Personality: Positive attitude and a desire to be part of a new, evolving organization.
