Overview

Position Objective

Job Description & Responsibilities

• Review and examine site survey reports for civil and fiber infrastructure to validate the accuracy and completeness of survey documents.
• Analyze field survey outputs, GIS records, route information, existing infrastructure data, and engineering requirements to identify design constraints and project requirements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to confirm survey results, resolve discrepancies, and update design records and inventory information as required.
• Develop civil and fiber network designs using collected survey data, technical specifications, engineering standards, and project requirements.
• Prepare detailed engineering drawings, route layouts, construction plans, and supporting documentation using QGIS, ArcGIS, AutoCAD, or similar engineering design tools.
• Design and validate fiber routes, duct networks, manholes, handholes, cable pathways, and associated OSP civil infrastructure.
• Ensure designs comply with local regulations, national standards, client requirements, and telecom industry best practices.
• Generate and review Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for civil and fiber designs to ensure all required materials, labor, equipment, and construction activities are accurately captured.
• Coordinate with survey teams, implementation teams, operations teams, contractors, and vendors to validate design feasibility and construction requirements.
• Maintain clear documentation of design changes, survey validations, approvals, BOQ revisions, and engineering updates for future reference and audit purposes.
• Review construction feedback and field updates to ensure design documentation remains accurate and current throughout project execution.
• Mark up and validate As-Built redline drawings to accurately capture deviations, adjustments, and final implemented network configurations.
• Support reconciliation of design records with as-built documentation, physical infrastructure, and inventory records.
• Identify design risks, including route conflicts, inaccurate survey information, missing documentation, constructability issues, or compliance gaps.
• Ensure all designs, drawings, BOQs, and supporting documentation are delivered within agreed timelines and quality standards.
