to participate in our Recruit Awesome People program, helping us grow

Convergint by promoting our colleague-first culture and referring top talent

to the Talent Acquisition Team and hiring managers.

and conflicts between project documents and field conditions. Communicate

issues promptly and provide practical technical recommendations to the

Project Manager, Superintendent, Project Engineer, or other responsible

parties.

Verify that installations conform to drawings, specifications, manufacturer

requirements, customer standards, workmanship expectations, and applicable

codes.

corrective actions, and follow issues through resolution. Escalate recurring

performance, quality, safety, or coordination concerns to the appropriate

project or operations leader.

regarding installation progress, technical status, material readiness,

quality concerns, system deficiencies, commissioning readiness, and upcoming

work requirements.

system dependencies, installation quality, safety, schedule, testing, or

commissioning. Communicate risks early and assist in developing practical

strategies to reduce project impact.

* Recognize potential changes in scope or field conditions that differ from the

approved project documents. Document and communicate these conditions to

project management before additional work is performed whenever practical.

* Verify that required materials, equipment, software, firmware, programming

information, test equipment, and technical resources are available before

scheduled installation, start-up, or commissioning activities. Promptly

communicate shortages or readiness concerns.

* Support the preparation and execution of system demonstrations, customer

training, operations training, turnover activities, and post-installation

technical support.

Operations Manager, and commissioning resources to support the overall

success of assigned projects. Provide technical recommendations regarding

installation methods, sequencing, quality, system performance, and customer

satisfaction.

colleagues. Help develop their installation, programming, documentation,

testing, troubleshooting, and customer-service capabilities.

* Act as “our customer’s best service provider” at all times by demonstrating

professionalism, responsiveness, accountability, and a commitment to

delivering complete and dependable systems.

* Perform other duties and responsibilities as requested or required.
