Key Responsibilities:

Design & Engineering Execution (Primary - 70%)

• Develop detailed HLD and LLD designs for middle mile and last mile fiber networks, including Fiber to the Home (FTTH) projects.
• Interpret client requirements and apply design standards to generate GIS-based network drawings.
• Create preliminary route designs and facility layouts to guide fielding instructions.
• Perform detailed ISP designs adhering to client-specific standards.
• Generate splicing prints, port assignments, and power loss budgets.
• Execute designs within allocated budgets and timelines.
  
  

Quality Assurance & Review (20%)

• Review design outputs for accuracy, compliance, and cost-effectiveness.
• Support QC and as-built efforts by updating designs based on field feedback and change requests.
• Participate in process improvement initiatives and mentor junior team members.
  
  

Project Coordination & Communication (10%)

• Coordinate with fielding teams for site visits and data collection.
• Interface with clients locally and remotely to clarify design expectations.
• Provide regular updates to the Design Lead on progress, blockers, and milestone status.
• Support documentation efforts in platforms like Documentum and SharePoint.
  
  

Project Execution Responsibilities:

• Review fielding data and client change requests to manage scope and design criteria.
• Produce and document change orders.
• Perform design updates in IQGeo GIS systems and ensure jurisdictional permit drawings are supported.
• Monitor project milestones and maintain accurate records.
