My client has an immediate need for a Network Operations Supervisor. The mission of the Network Operation Center is to provide capacity to the grid by reducing customers electricity consumption on an emergency basis.

A key objective for the Network Operations Supervisor will be to develop the Network Operations team into a true Service Organization. This will include driving success through defining processes, metrics, service levels, and management reporting. Experience with ITIL methodologies is strongly desired.
