Seeking a Telecommunications Provisioning Specialist / Circuit Actions Engineer with experience supporting telecom transport and circuit actions in DoD/DoW and other government networking environments. Responsible for translating network requirements into executable circuit orders; submitting and tracking DISA Storefront requests; coordinating with government and commercial service providers; and ensuring circuits are delivered to the correct nodes with the proper bandwidth, Layer 1 interface types, demarcation, and technical implementation requirements.

• Review technical requirements, topology, bandwidth, diversity, demarcation, and Layer 1 / physical interface needs to ensure correct service ordering and site delivery.
• Prepare, submit, and track DISA Storefront requests and other telecom service orders for government and commercial transport services.
• Coordinate with DISA, defense communications organizations, commercial carriers, local site contacts, and internal engineering / operations teams to provision and activate services.
• Troubleshoot provisioning and turn-up issues including incorrect node delivery, wrong interface type, cross-connect errors, patching problems, provider record mismatches, failed testing, delayed implementation, and incomplete documentation.
• Validate circuit installation and readiness for service by coordinating test events, reviewing test results, confirming handoff details, and ensuring equipment and interface configuration prerequisites are met for activation.
• Review technical service orders, implementation requirements, circuit records, and provisioning documentation for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with network engineering requirements.
• Resolve discrepancies involving node delivery, physical interfaces, service records, provider coordination, circuit activation, and follow up when service level agreements are not met.
• Maintain telecom inventories, trackers, provisioning records, and lifecycle documentation in a secure, mission-oriented environment.
• Support outage response, service restoration coordination, and status reporting for operational and pending circuit actions.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in engineering or related discipline with 4 years of experience; or 2 years of relevant experience with a Graduate degree; minimum 8 years of relevant experience/education can be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Clearance: Candidate must currently have, and/or be able to maintain, an active U.S. Government DoD Top Secret Clearance.

Preferred Additional Skills:

• Experience supporting telecom provisioning, transport services, circuit actions, or network operations in a government, defense, or mission-critical environment.
• Knowledge of telecom transport services and interfaces such as Ethernet, MPLS, optical/fiber, SONET/legacy transport, and other Layer 1 handoff types.
• Ability to interpret technical requirements, service orders, circuit IDs, engineering guidance, topology diagrams, demarcation details, and provisioning records.
• Familiarity with router, switch, optical transport, and encryption device connectivity as it relates to circuit activation, troubleshooting, and service turn-up.
• Ability to troubleshoot service delivery and activation problems including loss of signal, handoff mismatches, cross-connect issues, patching errors, and configuration readiness gaps.
• Ability to coordinate across multiple military, government, contractor, and commercial organizations.
• Ability to analyze service delivery problems, drive corrective actions, and escalate effectively when providers miss milestones or technical requirements.
• Skill in maintaining detailed records, status trackers, inventory data, test results, and provisioning documentation.
