We are looking for a Technical Analyst (Mid-Level) to join our AMI Project team, serving clients in the Advanced Metering Infrastructure space. The role reports to the Technical Program Manager and is central to SLA delivery, data quality, and day-to-day client technical coordination and calls for someone who can proactively troubleshoot issues, drive automation of routine work, and stay effective under tight deadlines in a fast-paced delivery environment.
Roles & Responsibilities
- Share structured project updates with clients and coordinate cross-functional teams to align deliverables; support handover and knowledge transfer.
- Ticketing & Support: Ensure SLA-bound ticket acknowledgement, classify by type/severity, follow escalation workflows, and maintain a deviation log.
- Data Analysis & Monitoring: Track daily data-transmission counts, model compliance/eligibility scenarios, and prepare status reports for TPM and clients.
- Drive automation of routine processes to reduce manual effort and improve turnaround.
- Train site teams on routine operations and provide technical troubleshooting support.
- Maintain up-to-date documentation of processes, SOPs, and runbooks for recurring issues and workflows.

- Client Engagement : Handle client escalations, prepare data summaries for the TPM, and ensure timely responses to client queries.
- Proactively identify and solution potential issues before they escalate, rather than waiting for direction.
- Operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-pressure delivery environment, managing shifting priorities and tight deadlines.
