PRG is seeking a Fiber Designer to join our Texas team!
As a Fiber Optic OSP Designer, you will produce high-quality, constructible Outside Plant (OSP) engineering designs for FTTH and other fiber optic network deployments. In this hands-on role, you will create OSP design packages, including aerial and underground (UG) utility placements, and generate supporting documentation such as splice matrices and permit applications. Familiarity with MDU (Multi-Dwelling Unit) design and ISP (Inside Plant) is also beneficial, as you’ll occasionally support these areas.
Typical Responsibilities
-
Create comprehensive OSP fiber designs with clear constructible routes for aerial, micro-trenching, boring, and other installation types.
-
Produce detailed design packages, including Fiber Construction Drawings (FCDs), Bill of Materials (BOM), Scope of Work (SOW), and Notice-to-Proceed (NTP) packages.
-
Use GIS and fiber design software (e.g., AutoCAD, Microstation, Arc, Esri, 3-GIS, QGIS, Arc, Vetro, Visio, or others to produce and update network designs.
-
Develop and maintain accurate splice matrices to support fiber connectivity requirements.
-
Draft permits for aerial and UG utility placement and manage ROW/easement requirements with local municipalities.
-
Ensure design quality and troubleshoot design challenges through proactive problem-solving and attention to detail.
-
Coordinate with internal teams to finalize as-built documentation and ensure adherence to company and industry standards.
-
Support efficient workflows by identifying design process improvements to enhance productivity and quality.
Minimum Qualifications:
-
Bachelor’s degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience.
-
At least three years of experience with FTTH infrastructure and OSP design including MxU designs
-
Demonstrated expertise in OSP design tools such as AutoCAD, Microstation, 3-GIS, Vetro, Arc/Esri or other GIS systems.
-
Proficiency in creating splice matrices, fiber connectivity plans, and understanding OSP configurations.
-
Experience with permitting processes and ROW/easement requirements for OSP construction.
Preferred Qualifications:
-
Advanced knowledge of OSP architectures, fiber splicing techniques, and overall fiber network design.
-
Experience in creating Bills of Materials (BOM) and performing material research for different OSP architectures.
-
Familiarity with ISP/MDU design and the ability to apply ISP knowledge when needed.
-
Proficiency with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Maps) for documentation and collaboration.
-
Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, and time management skills.
