1- Perform scheduled and corrective maintenance activities on transmission and IP equipment (SDH,
DWDM, ATN, CX) following approved procedures.
2- Troubleshoot alarms, signal degradation, and service interruptions using logs, NMS data, and field
diagnostics tools.
3- Conduct proactive checks on transmission nodes, interfaces, cabling, and protection paths to
identify early signs of degradation.
4- Conduct PAT activities by validating power, environmental, and basic operational parameters prior
to equipment migration.
5- Analyze outage data, alarms, and field observations to identify root causes and contribute
corrective recommendations.
6- Maintain accurate records of faults, maintenance activities, test results, and configuration changes
in approved systems.
7- Monitor transmission performance indicators and alarms through Network Management Systems
(NMS) and escalate abnormalities as required.
8- Apply safety instructions, work permits, and protective equipment requirements during on‑site
transmission activities.
9- Participate in upgrades, expansions, or configuration changes by executing assigned engineering
tasks and validations.
10- Support Assistant Engineers and technicians by providing technical guidance within assigned tasks
and activities.
11- Participate in acceptance testing and handover of new or upgraded transmission elements to
operations.
12- Contribute improvement ideas related to maintenance procedures, tools, and monitoring practices
based on field experience.
Behavioral Competencies:
1- Communication: Communicates transmission faults, technical findings, and work progress clearly
through accurate documentation and timely verbal updates to relevant stakeholders.
2- Collaboration: Works effectively with field teams, NOC, contractors, and other technical units to
coordinate activities and resolve transmission issues.
3- Analytical Thinking & Problem Solving: Analyzes alarms, logs, and performance data to diagnose
transmission and IP network issues and apply appropriate technical solutions.
4- Result Orientation: Completes maintenance, troubleshooting, testing, and upgrading activities
within required timelines, contributing to network availability and service continuity.
5- Proactivity: Identifies early signs of transmission degradation, recurring issues, or process gaps and
initiates corrective or preventive actions.
6- Safety Awareness: Applies safety rules, work permits, and protective measures consistently when
working on live transmission and power environments.
Technical Competencies:
1. Transmission & IP Network Operations: Applies engineering knowledge of SDH, DWDM, ATN, and CX
networks to operate, maintain, and restore transmission and IP services in live environments.
2. Transmission Fault Diagnosis & Troubleshooting: Diagnoses transmission and IP network faults by
analyzing alarms, logs, and performance indicators using NMS tools and field observations.
3. Preventive & Proactive Maintenance Execution: Executes preventive and proactive maintenance
activities, including physical checks, protection verification, and performance monitoring.
4. Network Performance Monitoring & Analysis: Uses Network Management Systems (NMS) to
monitor transmission performance, trends, and thresholds and identify early signs of degradation.
5. Equipment Acceptance Testing & Integration Support: Conducts Power Acceptance Testing (PAT)
and supports integration and migration activities by validating operational parameters and
readiness.
6. Operational Documentation & Reporting: Maintains accurate records of faults, maintenance
activities, test results, and configuration changes using approved documentation systems.
