• Strong working knowledge of TIA-568, TIA-942, TIA-606, and BICSI ITSIMM/TDMM standards. 

• Proficient with project management tools (MS Project, Smartsheet, Primavera, or equivalent). 

• Strong Microsoft Excel skills for production tracking, schedule management, and reporting. 

• Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting production updates and technical positions to customer engineering.
