DUTIES:
The Telecommunications Design Drafter support the modernization of enterprise voice, data, and telecommunications infrastructure across a secure, multi-building government environment.
The Telecommunications Design Drafter will develop and maintain technical drawings using AutoCAD and Microsoft Visio, document existing telecommunications infrastructure, translate field-collected survey data into accurate engineering drawings, and support the development of telecommunications infrastructure designs based on legacy conditions, project requirements, and engineering direction.
Develop, update, and maintain telecommunications drawings and design packages using AutoCAD and Microsoft Visio.
Create and revise floor plans, telecommunications layouts, pathway drawings, conduit plans, rack elevations, cable routing diagrams, network diagrams, and infrastructure details.
Translate field notes, survey forms, sketches, redlines, photographs, pathway data, cable route information, telecom room documentation, and legacy records into accurate AutoCAD and Visio drawings.
Document existing infrastructure including building entrances, MDFs, IDFs, backbone routes, risers, cable pathways, rack layouts, patch fields, OSP routes, OSP-to-ISP transitions, and known constraints.
Support the development of proposed telecommunications infrastructure designs for fiber backbone, copper cabling, telecommunications pathways, MDF/IDF layouts, rack elevations, cable routing, and equipment placement.
Produce detailed as-built drawings and construction-ready documentation supporting implementation activities.
Read and interpret architectural, engineering, and telecommunications drawings to ensure design accuracy and consistency.
Coordinate with engineers, project managers, and field technicians to resolve missing, conflicting, or incomplete survey information.
