Essential Duties
As a Telecommunications Designer focused on aerial OSP and joint use, you will engineer pole attachment and make-ready designs that keep fiber builds compliant, constructible, and on schedule. Day to day, you will:

• Produce aerial fiber design and pole loading deliverables for joint-use routes, applying the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) for clearances, loading districts, and grade-of-construction requirements
• Perform make-ready engineering, identifying clearance violations, required pole replacements, riser/down-guy needs, and rearrangements and translate field conditions into actionable construction notes
• Develop and review pole attachment applications to utility and joint-use owner standards, including required forms, exhibits, and supporting calculations
• Run sag and tension analysis and verify mid-span and ground clearances against NESC Rule 232/235 and applicable loading cases, using sag tables and pole loading tools
• Interpret field survey and as-built data (pole heights, existing attachments, messenger/strand, span lengths) and incorporate terrain and elevation data into clearance analysis
• Prepare construction-ready drawings, route prints, and design packages in CAD/GIS, including pole-by-pole detail and make-ready summaries
• Coordinate with utility joint-use departments, permitting agencies, survey crews, and construction partners to resolve design conflicts and keep projects moving
• Support quality control of design deliverables and maintain documentation that holds up under utility and ROW review
• Ability to travel to perform field data collection when necessary

* The above essential duties are skills that a candidate will learn and develop in this position
We've listed a compensation range that reflects our expectations for this role, including both direct and indirect components. We understand that your experience and value may fall outside of this range. If you feel you're a strong fit but your compensation needs differ, we're open to a conversation-let's talk.

• Understanding of utility pole attachment standards and the joint-use application/permitting process
• Strong attention to detail, comfort working with field data, and the ability to translate survey conditions into compliant designs
