- Experience with field inspections, installation audits, and QA/QC processes.
- Understanding of OSP and ISP fiber deployments.
- Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
- Experience coordinating contractors, vendors, and field personnel in fast-paced construction environments.

- Review engineering drawings, technical specifications, bills of material, and as-built documentation.
- Oversee fiber installation, testing, certification, and troubleshooting activities, including OTDR and OLTS validation.
- Support both Inside Plant (ISP) and Outside Plant (OSP) fiber infrastructure deployments.
- Conduct field inspections, installation audits, and QA/QC reviews to ensure compliance with design standards and quality requirements.
- Manage installation vendors and contractors, tracking performance, quality, and project milestones.
- Resolve field issues, design conflicts, and installation deficiencies while coordinating with engineering and construction teams.
- Promote safe work practices and ensure compliance with site safety and EHS requirements.
