- Assist with field surveys, redline markups, and conversion of field data into final drawings and GIS layers.
- Support BOM development, quantity take-offs, and basic loss-budget calculations.
- Coordinate with senior engineers, construction teams, and utilities on design changes and as-built updates.
- Ensure drawings and GIS data comply with company standards, TIA/BICSI guidelines, and local permitting requirements.
Requirements
- Associate’s degree or equivalent in engineering, geospatial technology, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Working knowledge of AutoCAD, preferably Civil 3D or similar, for utility and telecom drawings.
- Experience with GIS software such as ArcGIS, QGIS, or equivalent for mapping and spatial analysis.
- Basic understanding of fiber optic OSP concepts, including conduit systems, aerial and buried placement, splicing, and terminations.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to produce clear, accurate technical drawings.
- Willingness to perform occasional field work and site visits.
Nice to Have
- Internship or project experience in telecom, utility, or civil infrastructure.
