Responsibilities:

WHAT YOU’LL DO

The RAN Access Network Supervisor is primarily responsible for design and capacity planning for Mobile and Fixed Wireless networks. Monitoring network performance during rollout or capacity expansion; maintaining the system within set KPIs and expansion path network capacity and performance.

The supervisor is also responsible for executing activities in preventive and corrective maintenance in the RAN section and the quality of the mobile signal capacity and coverage, carrying out routine quality measurements, monitoring call quality statistics and adjusting RF frequencies and ranges, where required in the Network Infrastructure. Furthermore he/she oversees installation, maintenance and optimization of wireless radio access network communications systems, including radio propagation modeling and received signal prediction utilizing specific planning tools for wireless technologies.

• The RAN Access Network Supervisor is accountable to the Operations Manager EC regarding the engineering design and system performance of the Mobile and Fixed Wireless Radio Network, applying engineering principles to design and optimizing network coverage, performance and capacity.
• The RAN Engineer uses his discretion to apply knowledge of and takes decisions on the order of the work. Skills & Abilities:
• Strong knowledge of RF engineering principles (RF communications theory, design principles, network optimization, propagation modeling and prediction, etc.).
• Must have Mobile RAN experience and Technologies like 3G, 4G LTE, 5G and Fixed Wireless Access Networks.
• Full proficiency with Hardware (Cell site equipment layout, network infrastructure), RF Engineering principles (RF communications theory, design principles, network optimization, propagation modeling and prediction, etc.) and vendor capability assessment
• Knowledge of wireless engineering principles (cell site/ tower design, attributes and specifications, RAN design, spectrum / frequency planning, etc.)
• Must have knowledge of performance management (System KPIs and metrics, etc.)
• Test Tools and software (JDSU, Tektronix, Probes, IBUs, etc.). Signaling is the most important skill set – training on tools can be provided if needed
• Has a sound understanding of 1 or 2 specific FLOW technologies / systems/ procedures
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Good verbal and written skills in English
• Self-motivated and ability to work under pressure
• Proficiency in computer programming language (Visual Basic, Basic).
• Advanced computer skills with MSOffice products such as Excel, Word, Access, Windows , etc.
• Understanding of mapping software such as
• Physical requirements of lifting, bending, walking, sitting and standing for extended periods of time.
• Excellent computer/reporting skills, including a high level of proficiency with Microsoft Office Applications and other database/project management tracking tools
• Highly organized and able to multi-task and work effectively with limited supervision
• Highly motivated self-starter able to work under aggressive project schedules.
