This role is critical to ensuring the reliability, scalability, and performance of our growing broadband infrastructure.
As a senior member of the engineering team, you will lead complex network design initiatives, mentor junior engineers and support staff, and serve as an escalation point for advanced troubleshooting. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to support operational excellence and deliver a world-class broadband experience to our customers.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
JOB DETAILS AND PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
Vero Fiber was formed to fill a need in unserviceable and underserved communities where access to affordable, reliable broadband simply does not exist. Our goal is to bring the highest quality fiber optic-based broadband services to these communities. In addition, Vero strives to enhance communities by becoming an active partner in these communities by adding jobs, supporting local causes, and helping improve the connectivity of schools and rural healthcare as well.

CORE COMPETENCY DEFINITIONS
Safety and Security: Employees with a competency of safety and security are able to observe safety and security procedures, report potentially unsafe conditions and use equipment and materials properly. At intermediate levels that can determine appropriate action beyond guidelines. At higher levels of competency, employees make proactive suggestions to improve safety and security within their department or across the organization.
Quality of work: Employees with high quality of work demonstrate accuracy and thoroughness in their work product. They look for ways to improve and promote quality and can apply feedback to improve performance. A stronger employee will monitor their own work to ensure quality.
Results-oriented: Employees who are results-oriented focus on achieving results for the organization or team. Most employees routinely achieve their goals and gradually move on to more challenging tasks. More results-oriented employees go beyond that baseline to deliver exceptional value in their daily work.
