* Overview* We are supporting a fully remote opening for an OSP Engineer who will focus on quality control, redlining, and validation of vendor-produced OSP design packages. Although the role is remote, candidates
* must live in the Arizona market
* due to the need for deep familiarity with the region's municipalities, utility entities, and permitting expectations.
This role is not a hands-on design position. Ideal candidates have an OSP design background but prefer a review/oversight role where they ensure accuracy, standards compliance, and constructability of vendor submissions before they proceed into production and construction.

* What You'll Do
* You'll serve as the technical checkpoint for all incoming vendor design packages, reviewing them for routing accuracy, splice details, make-ready considerations, BOM validation, and overall constructability. You will redline issues, provide corrective guidance, and collaborate with both vendors and internal client engineering teams to resolve discrepancies.
A critical focus of the role is ensuring that designs meet the standards and requirements of the various
* Arizona municipalities and permitting authorities*, including differences in expectations between local AHJs, utilities, and city jurisdictions across the valley.

* Required Experience
* * background in OSP design (fiber, coax, or both)

* Experience performing QC reviews, redlines, or design validation

* Ability to interpret construction drawings, field notes, utility prints, and splice documentation

* Familiarity with AutoCAD, GIS-based design tools, or client-specific OSP systems

* Strong understanding of routing, make-ready, pole/underground requirements, and right-of-way fundamentals

* Must reside in the AZ area and understand the
* multiple AZ municipalities
* and their OSP/permitting standards

* Strong attention to detail and ability to communicate corrective guidance to vendors

* Preferred Experience
* * Prior review of vendor-submitted designs for major telecom carriers/MSOs

* Field experience reinforcing strong constructability judgment

* Knowledge of pole loading, strand mapping, or fiber route engineering

* Familiarity with common AZ-area utilities, permitting offices, and AHJs

* Why This Role Matters
* Accurate and constructible designs prevent costly redesigns, re-permitting, and construction delays. Your reviews ensure that vendor design packages align with AZ
-area standards and can move seamlessly into build phases.
