Position Overview
Bonneville Contracting and Technology Group is seeking a highly capable and field-oriented Telecommunications Engineer to support the estimation, design, and execution of complex infrastructure projects. This role is intended for a technically strong professional who can bridge engineering, field operations, and project execution. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with both outside plant (OSP) and inside plant (ISP) fiber optic systems, along with complementary systems such as access control, fire alarm, and intelligent transportation systems. The Telecommunications Engineer will play a critical role in ensuring that projects are accurately estimated, efficiently executed, and delivered to the highest technical standards.

Key Responsibilities
The Telecommunications Engineer will be responsible for preparing detailed cost estimates and technical proposals for fiber optic and low-voltage infrastructure projects. This includes evaluating project drawings, site conditions, and specifications to develop accurate scopes of work. The role requires active participation in field execution, including oversight of installations, troubleshooting, and ensuring compliance with design and safety standards. The candidate may be required to lead project teams of up to fifteen personnel, working in coordination with onsite supervisors to maintain productivity, quality, and schedule adherence. Additionally, the engineer will be expected to support the deployment of integrated systems, including fiber optic networks, access control systems, fire alarm systems, and intelligent transportation infrastructure.

Qualifications
The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background in telecommunications engineering or a related field, with demonstrated experience in fiber optic infrastructure projects, including both OSP and ISP environments. Familiarity with low-voltage systems such as access control, CCTV, and fire alarm systems is highly desirable. The candidate must have experience in project estimation, field execution, and team coordination. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to operate in dynamic field environments are essential. Proficiency with computers, engineering software, and project management tools is required. The ability to lead teams, communicate effectively, and adapt to evolving project requirements is critical for success in this role.

Work Environment and Travel Requirements
This position requires flexibility to work across multiple project sites in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The candidate should be prepared to travel as needed to support project execution. For assignments located more than one hour from the Caguas home office, Bonneville will provide additional accommodation and compensation to support travel and extended stays. The role may involve working in outdoor environments, construction sites, and active infrastructure locations.

Compensation and Growth Opportunity
Bonneville offers a competitive compensation package commensurate with experience, along with opportunities for professional growth within a rapidly expanding infrastructure and technology organization. This role provides direct exposure to high-impact projects and the opportunity to lead complex deployments across multiple sectors.
