We are seeking a highly skilled GIS Construction Coordinator to lead the engineering coordination and quality control of large-scale FTTH and OSP fiber deployments. This role sits at the intersection of GIS, engineering, and field execution — ensuring highly constructible, permit-ready, and client-approved design deliverables from concept through final as-builts.
This position is ideal for a fiber design professional who understands GIS platforms, OSP architecture, and real-world constructability — and who can confidently manage engineering vendors while driving quality and schedule performance.
Engineering & Design Coordination
- Lead the end-to-end OSP engineering workflow for FTTH deployments from initial design through as-built completion.
- Manage external engineering vendors to ensure timely, accurate, and highly constructible design packages.
- Develop and improve engineering process flows to accelerate design cycles and reduce rework.
- Review and approve design packages prior to client submission.
GIS & Technical Oversight
- Utilize GIS platforms (3-GIS preferred) and AutoCAD to review and validate fiber network designs.
- QA/QC fiber construction drawings, permit drawings, single-line diagrams (SLDs), splice sheets, and Bills of Materials (BOMs).
- Ensure compliance with client OSP design standards and municipal requirements.
- Identify routing conflicts, constructability risks, and permitting constraints early in the design phase.
- Research and resolve cable path, placement, and right-of-way challenges.
Quality Control & Compliance
- Establish and maintain high-quality design standards across all engineering deliverables.
- Troubleshoot equipment, layout, and design-stage discrepancies.
- Track revisions, corrective actions, and updates through final approval.
- Partner with field construction teams to resolve design-to-field conflicts.
Cross-Functional Leadership
- Coordinate with deployment, permitting, construction, and client teams to ensure alignment on scope and schedule.
- Communicate technical issues clearly across engineering and field stakeholders.
- Support network relocations, upgrades, and new development builds.
- Represent engineering progress, risks, and milestones to internal and client leadership.
Minimum qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience.
- 5+ years of experience supporting FTTH or OSP fiber infrastructure projects.
- Experience supporting or constructing outside plant (OSP) and inside plant (ISP) fiber networks.
- Strong understanding of fiber construction workflows from design through deployment.
Preferred qualifications:
- Expertise in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), 3-GIS, and AutoCAD drafting capabilities.
- Experience using QGIS and MyMaps.
- Comprehensive knowledge of Fiber Optic network equipment, various OSP architectures, splice operations, configuration, and overall system design.
- Knowledge of BOM creation, including material research for different markets and OSP architectures.
- Knowledge of SS creation and an ability to identify SS issues that originate in various design stages.
- Ability to create and review Fiber Construction Drawings for various architectures.
- Knowledge of ROW/easements for various municipalities and experience with local city utility permitting.
- Knowledge of SLD creation at the F1 and F2 level projects.
- Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
- Proficiency in Google G-Suite, including drive, docs, sheets, drawing, and presentation.
- Intermediate skills in Microsoft Office programs, including Excel.
- Intermediate working knowledge of Google Earth/Maps.
- Exemplary communication skills with excellent presentation skills. Ability to represent projects from business, product, and technical perspectives.
- Excellent time management.
