Manager Access & Power Deployment

The Manager of Access and Power Deployment will oversee the planning, implementation, and deployment of Radio Access Network (RAN) projects, site power infrastructure expansions, dismantling and relocation activities, as well as inventory management. This role ensures the efficient execution of network upgrades and power system installations to maintain network uptime and optimize resource utilization.

Key Responsibilities

Project Management:
Lead end-to-end management of site RAN and power expansion projects, including dismantling and relocation assignments. Ensure network uptime by minimizing downtime through effective project execution and inventory optimization.

Access Network Expansion and Planning:
