About the role

  • Serve as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for all OSP design activities, providing expert guidance on fiber network architecture and deployment (aerial and underground).
  • Strategically plan, allocate, and coordinate resources across multiple design centers and vendor teams.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders, project managers, and design engineers to ensure resource optimization, forecasting accuracy, and on-time, high-quality project delivery.
  • Lead the design and implementation of fiber optic networks using IQGEO, GIS (ArcGIS), and AutoCAD, including topology layout, fiber splice plans, route mapping, and as-built documentation.
  • Ensure all designs comply with NESC pole standards, permitting requirements, right-of-way (ROW) regulations, and client specifications.
  • Oversee QA/QC processes to validate design integrity, constructability, and compliance with engineering standards.
  • Lead training, development, and process refinement initiatives for onshore and offshore design teams across Europe, India, and the Philippines.
  • Establish and document SOPs, checklists, and training programs aligned with fiber optics standards (FTTH, FTTx, PON).
  • Drive continuous improvement and standardization efforts across global design centers to enhance collaboration, efficiency, and consistency.
  • Travel domestically and internationally for client meetings, audits, and team training; travel will decrease over time as operations mature.

Requirements

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Smartsheet).
  • **Preferred Qualifications:**
  • Experience with FTTH/FTTx deployments, XGS-PON systems, or network optimization tools.
  • Familiarity with utility coordination, conduit systems, and manhole/handhole design.
  • Certifications such as FOA Certified Fiber Optic Technician (CFOT) or PMP.
  • Background in cost estimation, QA/QC oversight, and sustainable telecom design.
