• 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.
