The Design Engineer/PM is expected to collaborate effectively with internal stakeholders and external vendors to drive best practices and establish tools, and standards consistent with large corporate deployments. The candidate will be required to have more than a cabling background. It is expected they will also have a strong IT background with knowledge of other facets of an IT network, such as networking, WiFi, AV, Security, PDU, UPS and Smart Building technologies.

You are the right person for this job if you have a solid end user focus and a passion for producing high-quality deliverables. You must be a self-starter and a critical thinker to deliver results with an intense curiosity and drive for learning. You must demonstrate the ability to efficiently plan and prioritize deliverables and resources across multiple projects and working groups. This position requires you to manage stakeholder expectations, budgets, schedules and scope. You must exhibit bias for action, and not rely on others to show you the path forward.
