Implementation Manager – Site Survey

Location: Cagayan de Oro (CDO), Philippines
Department: MOAI NEO / Field Implementation
Job Level: Mid-level Manager

Role Purpose

The Implementation Manager – Site Survey is responsible for planning, leading, and controlling all site survey activities supporting telecom network rollout (RAN and transport) in Cagayan de Oro and nearby areas. This role manages a small team of survey and implementation engineers/technicians, ensuring that each site is assessed accurately and efficiently to enable high-quality design, installation, and integration of radio and transmission infrastructure.

The role is primarily field-based, with frequent daily visits to customer and candidate sites across CDO and surrounding municipalities, combined with office-based planning, reporting, and coordination with project stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

Site Survey Planning and Execution

• Plan and schedule site surveys for radio and transmission sites based on rollout plans, customer priorities, and project milestones.

• Review site survey requests and technical requirements (RAN, transport, power, civil works, access, etc.) and allocate resources appropriately.

• Lead and supervise on-site survey activities, ensuring standard methodologies and safety procedures are followed.

• Validate site candidates for suitability (structural integrity, accessibility, power availability, environmental conditions, regulatory constraints).

• Ensure accurate capture of site survey data: measurements, photos, drawings, line-of-sight assessments, equipment placements, and risk/constraint identification.

• Coordinate with design and planning teams to clarify requirements and resolve issues that affect site selection and solution design.

Team Leadership and People Management

• Lead a small team of survey/implementation engineers and technicians; define objectives, assign work, and monitor performance.

• Provide coaching, guidance, and on‑job support to ensure consistent survey quality and adherence to standards.

• Ensure the team is properly equipped (tools, PPE, measurement instruments, devices, vehicles) and trained to perform field work safely and efficiently.

• Promote a culture of safety, quality, accountability, and continuous improvement within the team.

Quality, Compliance, and Documentation

• Ensure site survey outputs (reports, drawings, forms, photos) meet Ericsson and customer quality standards and are delivered on time.

• Review and approve site survey reports before submission to design, project management, and customer stakeholders.

• Ensure all survey documentation is properly stored and updated in the designated tools and repositories.

• Secure compliance with local regulations, landlord requirements, customer policies, and Ericsson health, safety, and environment (HSE) standards during survey activities.

• Conduct root-cause analysis and implement corrective actions for survey-related defects, rework, or escalations.

Stakeholder Management and Coordination

• Work closely with project managers, implementation leads, design/planning teams, and customer representatives to align on survey scope, timelines, and expectations.

• Participate in internal and customer meetings to present survey status, risks, and recommendations.

• Coordinate with landlords, building administrators, and local authorities for site access, permits, and other prerequisites.

• Communicate proactively regarding site issues (e.g., access constraints, structural limitations, power shortfalls) and propose alternative solutions or mitigation plans.

Operational Excellence and Continuous Improvement

• Monitor survey productivity, cycle time, and right-first-time performance; implement actions to improve efficiency.

• Identify opportunities to standardize survey templates, checklists, and reporting formats.

• Contribute to the improvement of implementation and survey processes, tools, and ways of working.

• Support safety campaigns, audits, and inspections; ensure timely closure of findings relevant to site survey operations.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (preferably Electronics, Electrical, Communications, or Civil), Information Technology, or a related technical field. Equivalent experience may be considered.

• Solid experience (typically 5+ years) in telecom implementation, field engineering, or site survey roles, preferably focused on RAN and/or transport networks.

• Minimum 2+ years of experience leading small field teams or acting as a lead engineer/foreman in implementation projects.

• Strong understanding of mobile network sites (macro/micro/indoor), transmission (microwave, fiber), power systems, and basic civil/structural considerations.

• Experience working with telecom operators or network vendors is an advantage.

• Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel frequently within CDO and nearby areas.

Skills and Competencies

• Strong planning and coordination skills with the ability to manage multiple surveys across different sites and timelines.

• Practical field skills: site measurements, LOS checks, equipment layout, rooftop and tower access, and basic structural assessment.

• Good understanding of safety requirements for field work (working at heights, electrical safety, construction sites, hazards identification).

• Proficiency in using survey tools and applications (measurement instruments, GPS, mapping tools, mobile apps, MS Office, and basic CAD/drawing tools is a plus).

• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to make sound decisions on site feasibility and solution options.

• Good communication skills in English and Filipino; able to prepare clear survey reports and communicate with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Leadership capabilities: ability to motivate and manage a small team, delegate tasks, provide feedback, and develop talent.

• Customer‑focused mindset with a strong commitment to quality, safety, and on‑time delivery.

Working Conditions

• Role is based in Cagayan de Oro (CDO), Philippines, with primary coverage of CDO and surrounding areas.

• Primarily field‑based with frequent daily site visits; occasional extended hours and weekend work may be required depending on project needs.

• Regular exposure to outdoor environments, rooftops, towers, and construction sites; strict adherence to safety policies and use of PPE is mandatory.

• Combination of on‑site work and office‑based tasks (planning, reporting, coordination, meetings).
