The ideal candidate will have experience with long-haul fiber infrastructure, underground utility construction, and GIS platforms such as ArcGIS. Candidates should be comfortable reviewing existing designs, validating network data, and ensuring design accuracy across multiple projects. This position is ideal for an OSP professional who enjoys reviewing designs, updating GIS records, and ensuring the accuracy of long-haul fiber network documentation rather than performing greenfield network design.

Ability to interpret fiber route drawings, utility records, construction documents, and as-built packages.
Experience maintaining network records and GIS databases.
Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently in a remote environment.
