About this opportunity:
Lead end-to-end field operations for the assigned customer and contract, ensuring safe, reliable, customer-focused and cost-conscious delivery.

  • Apply cost and delivery-model awareness to resource planning and operational decisions. Identify efficiency opportunities without compromising safety, service quality or contractual obligations; escalate scope, cost and delivery risks through the appropriate channels.
  • Set priorities and accountability across teams and partners; coach teams and coordinate effectively with service delivery, reliability, network operations and other stakeholders.
  • Expected outcomes include safe delivery to contract, visible and actively managed KPIs, timely recovery from service issues, effective customer and ASP governance, improved operational efficiency, and fewer recurring issues.
