About the Role

Technopark in Thiruvananthapuram's Kazhakkoottam area has a Lead Telecom Network Engineer opening, full time, on site, with a networking team supporting regional telecom infrastructure. Twelve years of experience is the expectation, and this lead role carries real authority over network expansion decisions.

A Day in This Job

The work covers configuring and maintaining network hardware, troubleshooting connectivity issues, monitoring network performance and security, and planning capacity for future growth. A lead engineer here reviews configuration decisions from other engineers, since telecom infrastructure mistakes affect real subscriber connectivity.
