We are looking for a Transition Engineer to lead critical integration and platform transition efforts for a Long-term Contract assignment based in Eastaboga, Alabama.

The ideal candidate will bring strong systems integration experience, sound change control practices, and the ability to translate business process needs into stable technical solutions.

Responsibilities

Lead the company-side readiness for provider cutover activities, including network routing, certificate setup, and end-to-end connection validation. Track transaction flow from the external provider through the McLeod platform and into the internal dispatch environment to confirm data integrity across systems. Adjust the dispatch application only where necessary so it can accept and process the incoming feed with minimal disruption to operations.

Plan and execute rollback rehearsals and full-cycle testing, including month-end validation, to confirm production readiness before final transition. Partner with the designated McLeod specialist to coordinate integration behavior, align mapping dependencies, and resolve handoff issues efficiently. Decommission legacy integrations by confirming inactivity, retiring obsolete interfaces, and documenting shutdown steps for affected systems. Evaluate an external customer portal and provide a clear recommendation on whether it should be retired, modernized, or replaced.

Support the move of dispatch decisioning into the McLeod planning board by converting documented business rules into actionable system configuration requirements. Maintain operational ownership of Linux-based servers and related applications, ensuring stability, controlled changes, and complete technical documentation throughout the engagement. Requirements
