Experienced outside plant engineer specializing in fiber network design, build, and closeout.
What I'm looking for
I am an outside plant engineer with extensive experience designing, building, and closing out large FTTH/FTTP and HFC fiber networks, leading teams, and improving processes to meet contractual milestones.
I have successfully led and grown engineering teams, revamped splicing schematics, created MOPs and standard tools, and recovered behind-schedule projects to invoiced completion across multiple markets.
My strengths include permitting, procurement coordination, QA/QC, 3GIS/CAD workflows, and a focus on efficient documentation and handoffs to ensure projects finish on time and within scope.
