Job Description
Technical Project Manager - Core Technical Delivery
Infinite Computer Solutions | Nokia Business Unit Reports To: Delivery Manager - Nokia Professional Services (practice aligned)
Practice Areas: IPTEL Packet Core SDM (HSS/HLR/UM, SDL) CSP (Charging, Policy Signalling)
Location: Bangalore / Chennai / Noida
Experience: 8-15 years in telecom delivery, network operations, managed services or deployment
Role Purpose The Technical Project Manager owns the safe, predictable and high-quality execution of project and live network intervention (LNI) activity within an assigned practice. The role combines genuine technical depth with delivery rigour - every activity executed safely, on time and with zero customer impact.
This is a hands-on role. The TPM is expected to hold the technical command to review a MoP, challenge an implementation approach and lead a critical incident personally - while driving standardisation, automation and a strong engineering culture within the team. The TPM reports to the practice Delivery Manager and is the primary execution owner beneath that layer.
Key Responsibilities 1. End-to-End Delivery Ownership
- Own complete execution of assigned work packages from planning through successful completion.
- Ensure every intervention is delivered safely, within schedule and in compliance with customer standards.
- Drive timely closure of all deliverables while proactively managing risks and dependencies.
- Take accountability for delivery outcomes rather than simply tracking activities.
- Provide the Delivery Manager with accurate, early and unfiltered status - no surprises. 2. Work Package Planning Ownership
- Allocate work packages to engineers based on competency, certifications and experience.
- Ensure the right engineer is assigned to the right task, with verified readiness.
- Monitor work package progress, remove execution blockers and maintain delivery governance.
- Ensure ownership across the entire lifecycle of each assigned activity. 3. Customer Project Alignment
- Work closely with customer project managers, planners and technical leads.
- Ensure LNI execution aligns with project timelines, milestones and deployment priorities.
- Represent the execution team during customer governance meetings.
- Build customer confidence through proactive communication and predictable delivery. 4. Technical Leadership - Hands On
- Maintain genuine working command of the practice domain - not oversight from a distance.
- Provide technical guidance during planning, execution, rollback and issue resolution.
- Review implementation approaches, Method of Procedure (MoP), rollback plans and risk assessments; approve before execution.
- Lead technical discussions during complex interventions and critical incidents, and drive root cause analysis personally.
- Coach engineers on best practices and promote continuous technical improvement. 5. Standardisation
- Execute against the practice delivery framework - MoP templates, checklists, readiness criteria and acceptance standards - and drive full team adoption.
- Eliminate ad-hoc, engineer-specific ways of working; make execution repeatable regardless of who performs it.
- Convert every lesson learned into an updated standard, checklist or preventive control.
- Feed practice-level gaps and improvement proposals back to the Delivery Manager for framework updates. 6. Automation Efficiency
- Identify repetitive, manual and error-prone steps within the execution lifecycle and propose automation candidates.
- Drive automation of health checks,
pre/post validation, configuration and reporting activities within the team.
- Set and track efficiency targets - effort per work package, cycle time, first-time-right percentage.
- Reuse assets from the BU automation repository rather than rebuilding, and contribute back what the team creates. 7. Thought Leadership
- Stay current with technology and tooling direction in the practice domain and bring it into execution practice.
- Propose improvements to delivery approach rather than only executing the defined method.
- Document and share knowledge - playbooks, execution guides, incident learnings - across the wider practice.
- Contribute technical input to solutioning, estimation and proposal work when required. 8. Team Management People Leadership
- Build a culture of ownership, accountability and collaboration.
- Conduct regular 1:1s to understand workload, aspirations and challenges.
- Balance shift planning, resource utilisation and fatigue management for 24x7 operations.
- Support hiring, onboarding, mentoring and capability development. 9. Inspired Leadership Team Motivation
- Set direction the team believes in - connect day-to-day execution to the wider account and customer outcome.
- Foster a positive, high-performance setting where engineers raise problems early and propose improvements without being asked.
- Recognise individual and team achievement visibly; address underperformance directly and fairly.
- Encourage continuous learning, certification and knowledge sharing.
- Create development plans for engineers to grow into future technical leaders and build a succession bench. 10. Quality of Work Deliverables
