• Perform detailed OSP engineering tasks including estimating, analyzing, designing, and planning for copper and fiber cable networks including aerial, buried, and conduit systems. • Develop engineering designs for poles, conduit routes, and buried facilities in accordance with company standards and industry regulations. • Prepare and interpret engineering plans, drawings, loop loss designs, and technical reports. • Design and support network infrastructure including FTTH, DSL, Metro-E, SONET, and other telecom transport technologies. • Track project budgets and compare estimated versus actual costs to ensure financial performance. • Conduct field data collection, measurements, and inspections to support engineering design and construction planning. • Prepare and organize permit packages for submission to local jurisdictions and regulatory agencies. • Maintain project documentation, records, and files including property records and engineering reports. • Perform quality control reviews and periodic inspections to ensure engineering accuracy and project compliance. • Collaborate with engineering teams, municipalities, retail and wholesale providers, and other stakeholders to support project implementation. • Develop engineering work orders including routine and complex OSP projects such as road moves. • Provide technical guidance regarding network equipment installation and operational functionality.

• 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. • 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. • Build job budgets and forecasts; track actuals, changes, and variance drivers; recommend cost/schedule mitigations. • Establish project KPIs (cycle time, rework rate, punch-list aging) and run continuous-improvement actions. • Conduct periodic site inspections and formal QA/QC gates from design release through closeout. • Maintain authoritative records (designs, permits, ROW, accounting/property records, as-builts). • Prepare executive-ready reports/status dashboards; keep internal/client systems current. • Partner with PMs, construction, permitting, and vendors to align milestones and dependencies; lead technical touchpoints. • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to OSP Engineers I/II, designers, and permit staff.
