Oversee and manage changes during the construction phase. Assist the team in verifying as-built documentation.

What you’ll bring to the role

We are seeking a proactive individual with a keen eye for detail who excels in a problem-solving environment. You'll be involved in multiple builds and projects, so you should also possess some of the following qualities:

Experience with drafting and GIS Proficiency in accurate as-built and fibre record keeping Prior experience as a Fiber Network Planner in the telecom industry Strong understanding of local authority legislation regarding utility and telecom builds
