Job Type
Full-time
Description
OSP Field Designer
Location: Remote with Regular Fieldwork in Little Rock, AR and the surrounding areas
About the Role
Are you an experienced OSP fiber design professional who enjoys both fieldwork and design work? Sigma Technologies is looking for an OSP Field Designer to support telecommunications projects through a combination of field data collection, route verification, drafting, and design.
This role will initially support project work in the Little Rock, AR and surrounding areas. As project needs grow and shift, the assigned work areas may change. Applicants must be willing and able to travel outside of the initial starting areas, including overnight travel when required.
When not performing field data collection, this position will work remotely. Regular local fieldwork is required and work location can vary (50%-75% travel possible).
This position requires the use of your own vehicle for which we provide mileage reimbursement. Sigma covers the cost of hotels and provides daily per diem when overnight stays are required.
Note: New hires are required to attend a 1-week paid, in-person onboarding and training at our Perrysburg, Ohio headquarters.
What You Can Expect to Do
  • Perform outside plant field walkouts, site surveys, and route verification to collect accurate infrastructure, attachment, pathway, and construction data.
  • Identify, inspect, and document poles, attachments, equipment, structures, existing telecommunications infrastructure, route conditions, and potential construction constraints.
  • Capture photos, measurements, GPS data, field notes, and other documentation needed to support drafting, design, and construction deliverables.
  • Map collected field data and translate field conditions into accurate design inputs and construction-ready design packages.
  • Execute OSP fiber designs for telecommunications projects, including FTTx, aerial fiber, underground fiber, joint-use, and general OSP fiber design.
  • Perform 2-D civil drafting and design using CAD tools such as AutoCAD or similar design platforms.
  • Interpret field notes, maps, schematics, customer standards, and established design guidelines to complete accurate OSP designs.
  • Apply knowledge of OSP design standards and telecommunications construction practices to resolve design issues and recommend practical infrastructure solutions.
  • Consider pole ownership, right-of-way, easements, permitting constraints, property ownership, and related project requirements as needed.
  • Prepare or support joint-use applications, route analysis, project kickoff activities, scope review, work order processing, and related project documentation.
  • Use customer-based proprietary software, GIS tools, CAD systems, and other computer applications to support the work order and design process.
  • Collaborate with supervisors, project managers, designers, field technicians, drafters, administrative staff, and quality teams to complete assigned project work.
  • Support initial fieldwork areas in and around Little Rock, AR, with the ability to travel to additional project areas as business needs expand.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Requirements
What We Are Looking For
  • High school diploma or equivalent is required.
  • An Associate degree or higher in engineering, drafting, telecommunications, GIS, construction management, or a related field is preferred but not required.
  • Requires 2+ years of demonstrated outside plant fiber design, fiber drafting, telecommunications design, or related OSP design experience.
  • Experience performing field data collection, field walkouts, or field verification specifically to support OSP fiber design work.
  • Experience with FTTx, aerial fiber, underground fiber, joint-use, telecommunications infrastructure design, and/or fiber route design is preferred.
  • Proficiency with computer-aided design programs such as AutoCAD or similar CAD tools is required.
  • Ability to read and understand engineering schematics, maps, field notes, construction drawings, design standards, and customer specifications.
  • Knowledge of telecommunications construction, OSP design practices, planning procedures, field documentation requirements, and design deliverable standards.
  • Ability to learn and operate customer-based proprietary software, GIS tools, and other computer systems used to support the work order process.
  • Strong technical knowledge, attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and ability to translate field conditions into accurate design deliverables.
  • Ability to work independently in the field and remotely while meeting quality, time, budget, and productivity expectations.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills.
  • Computer literacy, especially with Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, CAD programs, GIS tools, and related business systems.

Travel, Schedule, and Work Environment
  • This position is remote when not performing field data collection; however, regular local fieldwork is required.
  • Initial fieldwork areas include the Little Rock, AR and surrounding areas. Assigned project areas may change in the future based on business needs.
  • Applicants must be willing and able to travel outside of the initial assigned areas as project needs expand, including overnight travel when required.
  • This position requires availability during core work hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern, with flexibility for local fieldwork, travel, project demands, and occasional overtime as duties require.
  • Dependable transportation, a valid driver's license, and valid insurance are required.
  • Ability to use personal vehicle for travel.
  • New hires are required to attend an initial 1-week in-person paid orientation and training period at Sigma Technologies headquarters in Perrysburg, Ohio.

Additional Requirements
  • Must be authorized to work in the United States.

Physical Requirements

  • Must have the physical ability to perform fieldwork, including driving, walking long distances, navigating uneven terrain, working near roadways, and working in various weather conditions.
  • Must be able to lift and carry field equipment weighing up to approximately 40 pounds.
  • Must have the physical ability to perform activities such as preparing and analyzing data and figures, transcribing notes, viewing a computer terminal, reviewing maps, and inspecting field conditions; these activities require close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and ability to adjust focus.
  • Must have the physical ability to express or exchange ideas by means of the spoken word and convey detailed or important spoken instructions to other workers accurately, often in a group setting or field environment.
  • Must have the ability to receive detailed information through oral communication and to make the discriminations in sound.

What We Offer
  • Competitive pay based on experience and education.
  • Remote work when not performing required field data collection.
  • Paid in-person orientation and training at Sigma Technologies headquarters in Perrysburg, Ohio.
  • The opportunity to support telecommunications infrastructure projects that help connect communities.
