About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Ensure all hardware is installed according to RAD standards, verifying correct placement, coverage, orientation, secure mounting, physical safety, power, cabling, network connectivity, and environmental suitability.
Validate device labeling, IDs, and configuration details, and perform final quality checks before considering an installation complete.
Confirm devices are powered on, network-connected, and correctly identified in RAD systems before handoff.
Provide complete handoff documentation to the software team, including device IDs, locations, site photos, network details, and any known constraints or open items.
Explicitly notify the software team when hardware is ready for configuration — a deployment isn't "complete" until the software team confirms readiness.
Treat every hardware issue as urgent once identified: create a ticket immediately, assign clear ownership, and track it actively to resolution.
Coordinate quickly with technicians, vendors, and internal teams to resolve issues.
Validate performance after resolution — not just "fixed on paper."
Build and maintain a trusted network of local technicians in each deployment region.
Ensure technicians are trained on RAD standards, can execute installs correctly the first time, and respond quickly and professionally when issues arise.
Actively manage technician performance — retraining when possible, replacing when necessary — and prioritize reliability and consistency over lowest cost.
Track all active and upcoming deployments, along with issue tracking, in a centralized system.
Clearly define scope, timelines, dependencies, and owners for each project.
Coordinate schedules across multiple clients, sites, and technicians, and proactively identify conflicts, risks, and capacity constraints.
Set clear client expectations around installation and service timelines, site readiness requirements, and what will happen during install or service visits.
Communicate proactively about delays, changes, or issues discovered on-site, along with next steps and resolution plans.
Confirm completion and readiness with the client before closing out a deployment.
