• RAN Hardware Deployment: Successfully managed the end-to-end technical installation of multi-vendor Radio Access Network equipment on active tower sites, configuring Nokia and Samsung hardware for the Spark NZ network alongside Ericsson systems for 2degrees.
• Led structural assembly of new greenfield telecommunications towers, ensuring precise installation of headframes, structural poles, braces, and secondary mounting equipment to meet project specifications.
• Tower-to-Ground Integration: Position, secure, and terminate heavy structural tower assets down to ground level base stations, including the mounting of telecom cabinets, power rectifiers, and backup battery systems.
• Site Risk & Engineering Calculations: Interpret detailed engineering designs to determine exact rigging requirements, accounting for environmental parameters and structural wind-loading conditions to ensure ultimate structure integrity.
• Executed critical mechanical adjustments, pathing, and equipment mounting at heights and in confined spaces, maintaining strict safety protocols with zero incidents.
• Key Achievements at this Role:
• Multivendor Project Versatility: Seamlessly switched between distinct Tier-1 carrier environments (Spark NZ and 2degrees), reducing deployment delays by proving deep field proficiency with three distinct vendor architectures (Nokia, Samsung, Ericsson).
• Flawless Site Safety Record: Maintained a zero-incident safety record across all projects by conducting thorough pre-climb inspections, secure gear-lashing, and complete adherence to strict New Zealand working-at-height frameworks.
• Delivered fully functional cellular footprints ahead of schedule by transforming raw physical sites through efficient tower construction and headframe rigging.
