______________________________________________________________________________
Key Responsibilities:
-
Develop basic OSP/FTTH design packages including routing, preliminary LLDs, splice diagrams, and construction sheets under guidance.
-
Conduct field assessments to validate routing, measure clearances, verify utilities, and identify obstacles.
-
Interpret field notes and convert them into accurate design updates.
-
Perform initial analysis for underground and aerial routes following engineering and client standards.
-
Collaborate with drafters to finalize design sheets and ensure proper documentation.
-
Apply QA/QC feedback and revise work accordingly.
-
Maintain consistent version control and design documentation structure.
-
Identify simple design conflicts and escalate appropriately. Conduct occasional field visits to validate design assumptions, confirm routing paths, and assess real-world conditions.
-
Document field observations through notes, photos, and basic measurements as needed to support design accuracy.
-
Travel to project locations when required to support engineering decisions or resolve design questions.
-
Collaborate with field teams to understand site conditions and ensure designs reflect actual constructability.
-
Participate in field reviews when engineering clarification or onsite verification is necessary.

-
Familiarity with NESC, RUS, local permitting processes, or utility coordination.
Level Expectations & Work Environment:
-
Works under close supervision with structured guidance.
-
Handles smaller design segments or limited-scope routes.
-
Accuracy expectations align with QA/QC guidance (90–95%).
-
Focused primarily on learning standards, tools, and design processes.
-
Office and field-based role requiring travel to job sites.
-
Ability to work outdoors in various weather conditions.
-
Must be able to stand, walk, and perform field assessments for extended periods.
Physical Requirements:
-
Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and in vehicle, with long periods working on a computer.
