• Design MDU/MXU fiber layouts, including building entry, risers, horizontal pathways, distribution points and unit‑level connectivity.
• Produce and audit complete design packages: construction drawings, BOM, scope of work, and client deliverables such as NTP packages.
• Build and maintain splice matrices, fiber assignments and connectivity records.
• Prepare and audit aerial and underground permit drawings and support ROW and easement requirements with municipalities, counties and DOTs.
• Use field survey data, photos and walkout notes to develop and correct designs.
• QC your own work and colleagues work against client standards before it goes out, and turn client and agency comments quickly.
• Support as‑built updates and keep design records accurate.
• Suggest process and tool improvements that make the team faster and the work cleaner.
