What you’ll be doing...

At Verizon, we don't wait for the future, we build it! Join the industry leader in Network and Telecommunications Services as we embark on transforming our nation's critical communications infrastructure and the FAA's National Airspace System (NAS) network.

As a Transition Site Readiness Project Manager, you are responsible to manage and track the interdependent deliverables from the initial site assessment through site acceptance. The lifecycle of the implementation of the site transition begins approximately 15-12 months prior to the site migration to the Verizon managed services. You have an integrated team of network engineers, infrastructure and regional project managers and order management support with Transition and Service Area Project management oversight.

You will work with FAA, Network Engineering and our business partners to manage the site-specific verification of the physical and logical requirements for the Verizon’s FENS managed network solution.

Once you have confirmed circuit(s) installation and acceptance, site prep completion, site configuration build, and CPE readiness, you conduct “Go/No Go” with FAA site contacts and partners. Upon confirmation of readiness, CPE staging initiates. You proceed with scheduling resources, change windows, MOP updates and Provisioning activation. With assistance from Service Area Project Manager, communications and change management are submitted and dates/times approved. CPE is secured and shipped to FAA location to meet the coordinated ‘time/date’ for our field technician(s) partner at the site.

You will work with the Service Area Transition Project Manager, Service Readiness Project Manager and the Transition and Implementation Project team for assistance in reporting, schedule, milestones, creation of jeopardy, tracking and status reports.
