Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled IT Program Manager to lead a high-priority critical infrastructure modernization program. In this role, you will oversee the accelerated 6-month deployment strategy, planning, and execution to replace legacy SONET multiplexers with Nokia SAR systems across dozens of utility sites. The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in utility-grade telecom migrations, ensuring zero downtime for critical protection/control circuits while strictly adhering to public utility regulations and grid safety standards.

Core Responsibilities

Fast-Track Program Governance

Drive an aggressive 6-month program schedule, tracking daily site/circuit migration velocities and critical paths.

Manage resource allocation across internal technicians, network engineers, and Project Managers.

Identify, mitigate, and track risks, specifically focusing on supply chain logistics and tight maintenance window constraints.

Utility Infrastructure & Technical Oversight

Manage the multi-phased lifecycle of decommissioning legacy SONET rings while maintaining active grid teleprotection circuits.

Ensure migration designs seamlessly support time-sensitive utility traffic (e.g., SCADA, teleprotection, differential relaying) over IP/MPLS.

Partner with engineering to validate Nokia SAR configurations for strict timing/synchronization requirements.

Regulatory & Regulatory Compliance

Ensure all network changes, asset tracking, and deployment processes comply fully with NERC CIP standards and utility regulations.
