The Engineer I will support the project teams with varying degrees of direct project responsibilities while developing a baseline knowledge of the telecommunications site development process. Project work will focus on new site development of macro and small cell sites, the modification of existing telecommunications facilities, fiber optic networks, and other project types as required. Responsibilities will focus on engineering tower and compound as well as creating fiber optic network designs while developing an understanding of client-specific telecommunications equipment and their usage.
Engineer tower and compound locations (i.e. site layout, grading, stormwater management design, and culvert design) with an understanding in structural engineering concepts Develop construction plans for telecommunications client equipment upgrades and modifications Prepare and review construction drawings for completeness before final PE review Design of new conduit routes for fiber optic utility companies from existing infrastructure to proposed destination in public right-of-way and private property Design of existing fiber optic facilities within the public for permanent or temporary relocation in the public right-of-way Analyze and design all types of structural support designs using building materials such as steel, concrete, masonry, light-gage, and wood Perform calculations conforming to building code requirements for structural design and analysis Interact with internal multi-disciplinary team members to expedite project completion and approvals Create effective job flow by tracking assigned tasks and prioritizing completion of assignments accordingly Maintain NB+C CAD standards and templates Routinely produce accurate drawings promptly and efficiently Learn telecommunications equipment and client-specific equipment and their usage Learn conduit design from client-specific standards Evaluate designs for constructability B.S.
