Hi Sohail
My client, a leading supplier of network planning, optimisation and performance management / service assurance tools is looking for a Mobile Network Engineer that might be interested in changing to a product management role.
Essentially the client is looking for an engineer that has practical hands on Network Optimisation experience and understanding of the methods used in Network Performance Management and Service Quality Management, including network statistics/counters, alarms, KPIs, KQIs service modelling, etc. They would like the person to use that knowledge to help them pull together requirements to improve the software tool they offer to the global market (helping to create the product roadmap etc). The candidate would be working on my client's performance management OSS tool.
The role is permanent and based in the UK (Surrey on the outskirts of London) and the role is office based so they would ideally like someone based in the UK or in Europe that can relocate.
Please find the job description below.
If you might be interested or could recommend someone please do let know? To progress I will need candidates salary expectation in GBP per year and their availability to start + a latest CV.
Best Regards,
Sonali Gupta
