Conduct pre-operational assessments for switching and safety operations, ensuring compliance with safety standards and operational protocols.
Drive the development of optimisation strategies and AI applications to enhance network performance, predictive maintenance, and operational efficiency.
Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to ensure alignment on project goals, share insights, and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
