What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on engineering or management role where I can lead teams, streamline build-to-closeout processes, solve field issues, and deliver projects on time.

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.
