Job Description
Seeking an experienced OSP Engineer to support fiber-network expansion throughout Eastern Pennsylvania. This person will review OSP designs, validate routes in the field, partner around municipal and permitting requirements, and solve constructability challenges.

This person should be comfortable working with local jurisdictions and adjusting engineering solutions around permitting utility, ROW, and field constraints.
