We are looking for a Backhaul Engineer to join our team and support the backbone of telecom networks. This role focuses on microwave transmission systems (SDH/PDH) and ensures that towers and network elements remain connected, stable, and optimized. It’s an excellent opportunity for engineers to gain hands-on experience in real-world telecom operations while learning from multi-domain projects.
Key Responsibilities
As a Backhaul Engineer, you will:
- Perform maintenance — Carry out corrective and preventive maintenance on microwave equipment and SDH/PDH systems to ensure reliability.
- Coordinate fault resolution — Work closely with Core, Radio, IP Backbone, IN, and VAS teams to resolve issues quickly.
- Manage configurations — Handle setup and configuration changes for microwave network elements and services.
- Monitor performance — Track KPIs of microwave links, analyze performance, and recommend improvements.
- Conduct audits — Perform network audits and propose plans to enhance stability and efficiency.
- Provide technical support — Assist with planning, maintain topology documentation, and support project teams.
- Liaise with stakeholders — Communicate with customers and internal departments to analyze issues and ensure service quality.
Requirements
We’re looking for candidates who bring:
- Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Telecommunications, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or related fields.
- Experience or strong knowledge in Wireless/Microwave operations and maintenance (junior to senior levels).
- Hands-on understanding of SDH/PDH transmission systems and microwave networks.
- Solid grasp of fault, configuration, and performance management.
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.
- Effective communication and coordination skills to work with multiple stakeholders.
- Ability to work independently and under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a fantastic opportunity for engineers to build a career in telecom by working directly with backhaul transmission systems — the backbone that keeps towers connected. You’ll gain practical experience in maintenance, troubleshooting, and performance optimization, while learning to coordinate with multiple teams and stakeholders. The role offers exposure to diverse responsibilities, making it a strong stepping stone for growth in the telecom industry.
