(Medior) Consultant telecom infrastructure basic design

There’s no room for error when the integrity of critical national infrastructure depends on seamless telecom coordination. As an experienced Telecom Project Leader, you already know how even minor oversights can lead to cascading delays, operational risks, or compliance gaps. If you're fluent in Dutch and confident managing multiple complex infrastructure projects at once—this may concern you directly.

Success of Engineering Projects mostly relies on key individuals demonstrating Intrapreneurial Leadership, and the best way to develop these skills is through hands-on consulting roles—working alongside established intrapreneurs in international companies, contributing to managing stakeholders' engagement, workflows' reliability, or solutions' sustainability.

Join AETHER to support Intrapreneurial Projects as a Telecom Engineering Project Consultant:

The scope, here, is to manage the telecom component of multiple strategic energy infrastructure projects, ensuring technical robustness, operational readiness, and integration into Belgium’s high-voltage network.
