Job Overview

As a Project Engineer, the role is accountable for end-to-end execution of client infrastructure projects from SoW intake and technical planning through staging, on-site deployment/cutover, and post-go-live stabilization. You will operate as a senior hands-on contributor, partnering tightly with Project Managers to drive schedule adherence, risk management, and stakeholder alignment. Standards are required; critical thinking and real-world engineering judgment are non-negotiable.

The Engineer must be able to successfully work on multiple projects consistently.

Key Responsibilities:

• Execute infrastructure project scopes: design validation, configuration, staging, deployment, cutover, and stabilization.
• Convert SoWs into technical build plans: sequencing, dependencies, risk controls, acceptance criteria, and rollback strategy.
• Validate readiness and logistics prior to execution: access prerequisites, site readiness, maintenance window requirements, and third-party dependencies.
• Review equipment orders against design intent (models/SKUs, licensing, optics/DACs, port capacity/PoE, power/UPS sizing) and proactively resolve gaps to avoid field failures.
• Lead on-site implementation: rack/stack, cabling verification, circuit/ISP handoff validation, firewall/switch/wireless turn-up, and production cutovers.
• Own change execution governance: maintenance window planning, stakeholder communications, go/no-go checkpoints, rollback readiness, post-change validation, and hypercare.
• Ensure monitoring/alerting, backups, logging, and support handoff criteria are met prior to project closure.
• Produce Coretelligent-standard deliverables: runbooks, network diagrams, IP plans, configuration/build guides, and end-user guides as required.
• Maintain accurate project notes, artifacts, and updates in Service Now (or equivalent ITSM), ensuring auditable delivery records; surface scope creep and drive change control when needed.
• Coordinate closely with Project Managers to maintain delivery velocity: status, blockers, risks, scope change impacts, and stakeholder communications.
• Partner with third-party vendors (audio/video, voice/telecom, line-of-business) to integrate systems and complete cutovers successfully.
• Ensure client satisfaction through disciplined execution, clear communication, and reliable outcomes
