The principal engineer is a customer facing subject matter expert (SME) for Smart Metering and Low Voltage Network implementation and integration projects, technology driven, resourceful, deadline-oriented and has strong analytical and root cause analysis skills. The principal engineer will manage the technical deliverables of the implementation project including overseeing a team of technical resources, scheduling, configuring, testing, tracking and managing technical tasks. The principal engineer works closely with the Solution Architect (SA) and the Project Manager (PM) to ensure that the technical solution meets the customer's needs and business objectives and ensures that the delivery of the technical solution falls within TRC Digital Solutions standard processes and tools and can fill in for Solution Architects for the project.
The Principal Engineer can also act as a solution lead on a project and must take full ownership over the technical aspect of the project and ensure that there are no “surprises” to the Project Management. They will act as the primary technical resource that will work closely with our software vendor partners, clients, and onshore and offshore project teams to deliver world class solutions that solve our customers’ current and future challenges.
