You’ll mentor junior engineers, drive cross-functional coordination, and elevate quality through rigorous QA/QC, field validation, and data-driven improvements. Core Responsibilities Planning, Design & Technical Leadership Own engineering scope for multi-site/complex OSP builds (fiber & copper; aerial/UG; pole, direct-buried, and conduit). Produce and seal (where applicable) engineering plans, splicing diagrams, loss budgets, BOMs, and construction work prints. Perform advanced loop-loss and electronics sizing; plan field-mounted switch serving areas and network segmentation. Lead constructability reviews, value engineering, and route optimization; resolve clearance, capacity, and alignment conflicts. Field Validation, Standards & Compliance Direct and perform field surveys: pole, conduit, and buried-facility measurements; verify NESC clearances and make-ready needs. Ensure compliance with NESC , client specifications, and Pearce standards; conduct feasibility/economic analyses. Author redlines/as-builts; drive corrective actions from field QA findings to closure. Oversee complete permit packages (municipal/county/state) and coordinate ROW/easements to approval. Lead joint-use engineering (pole attachments, loading, and make-ready); coordinate with IOU/co-op/municipal utilities. Interface with agencies and utilities to resolve conflicts, accelerate approvals, and de-risk schedules. Budgeting, Tracking & Quality Assurance Build job budgets and forecasts; track actuals, changes, and variance drivers; recommend cost/schedule mitigations.
