- Design MDU/MXU fiber layouts, including building entry, risers, horizontal pathways, distribution points, and unit-level connectivity.
- Produce and audit complete design packages, including construction drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), scopes of work, and client deliverables such as NTP packages.
- Build and maintain splice matrices, fiber assignments, and connectivity records.
- Prepare and audit aerial and underground permit drawings and support ROW and easement requirements with municipalities, counties, and DOTs.
- Use field survey data, photos, and walkout notes to develop and correct designs.
