Osp Engineer

Overview

We are seeking an Underground Fiber OSP Engineer for a role that blends underground fiber route engineering with heavy project and vendor management. This is not a traditional engineering-only position - it requires someone assertive, organized, and capable of driving vendors, enforcing SLAs, validating designs, and moving projects forward against aggressive timelines.
You will engineer underground fiber routes, review vendor-submitted civil and fiber designs, coordinate with municipalities, manage deliverables, and ensure accuracy and compliance before any construction moves forward.
Candidates must be highly proactive, able to self-direct, communicate clearly, and operate comfortably in a remote/virtual environment with periodic site visits.

Key Responsibilities

Underground Fiber Engineering

• Engineer underground fiber routes (boring, trenching, conduit, handholes/manholes).
• Conduct field surveys to validate underground paths, utility conflicts, and surface conditions.
• Review and redline vendor-submitted designs prior to municipal submission.
• Validate construction packages, conduit profiles, and civil layout drawings.

GIS & Design Validation

• Utilize GIS tools (e.g., ESRI-based platforms like LightPlan) for design verification.
• Analyze, correct, and approve fiber and civil OSP designs submitted by third-party vendors.
• Update redlines, as-builts, and GIS records to ensure accuracy.

Project & Vendor Management

• Manage multiple OSP fiber projects simultaneously with aggressive deadlines.
• Enforce vendor SLAs and hold vendors accountable for quality, timelines, and deliverables.
• Coordinate with vendors such as civil contractors, fiber engineering firms, and survey teams.
• Track progress, document updates, escalate issues, and ensure all project steps stay on schedule.

Permitting & Municipal Coordination

• Work directly with city officials and permitting authorities to resolve design conflicts.
• Support preparation of permit packages, including drawings, notes, BOMs, and route justification.
• Expedite approvals by ensuring submissions are complete, accurate, and compliant.

Collaboration & Reporting

• Communicate across engineering, construction, field, and permitting teams.
• Participate in remote meetings using Teams, Outlook, shared drives, and similar tools.
• Provide progress updates, issue logs, and timely documentation of changes.
