What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue coordinating utility permitting and engineering support work where I can improve workflows, maintain accurate project records, collaborate with stakeholders, and support telecommunications infrastructure projects.

At TriTechne, I coordinate OSP utility permitting and engineering support for telecommunications infrastructure projects serving clients including Brightspeed, MetroNet, Four States Fiber, SDT, SCAEC, and AT&T Business.

I've prepared and submitted 585+ utility permit applications supporting approximately 19,000 utility poles across eight states. I validate engineering documentation, interpret construction prints and aerial fiber designs, research utility requirements, and assemble complete pole attachment application packages.

I improve project visibility through Excel permit trackers, SharePoint structures, templates, and standardized workflows. I also build collaborative relationships with engineering teams, project managers, vendors, utilities, and permitting authorities while training new employees on permitting processes and quality expectations.
