Description

  • Lead Fervo’s physical network infrastructure program across outside-plant and inside-plant fiber, structured copper cabling, pathways, telecommunications rooms, racks, cabinets, and passive connectivity.
  • Manage authoritative fiber-management and GIS records spanning IT, OT/I&C, and sensing infrastructure.
  • Establish the infrastructure records program, including tool selection, implementation, and verified baseline development.
  • Maintain copper identifiers, outlets, patch-panel ports, rack layouts, and physical connectivity documentation.
  • Review, approve, and incorporate contractor as-builts, splice diagrams, fiber test traces, and copper certification results.
  • Control documentation for splices, reroutes, strand reallocations, cable additions, and patching modifications.
  • Compare records with installed infrastructure, identify discrepancies, and track corrective actions.
  • Design shared OSP and ISP fiber and structured copper systems with IT, OT/I&C, sensing, and construction stakeholders.
  • Create and review route plans, cable and strand schedules, splice designs, optical-loss budgets, rack elevations, patching layouts, bills of materials, and construction specifications with GIS and CAD tools.
  • Define telecommunications needs for conduit, duct banks, innerduct, cable trays, rooms, racks, and cabinets.
  • Coordinate utility conflicts, permitting, power and cooling needs, grounding, bonding, and building penetrations.
  • Plan physical connectivity for wireless access points, cameras, access-control equipment, and industrial network endpoints.
  • Convert sensing and vendor requirements into specifications for fiber, pathways, splicing, termination, testing, and documentation.
  • Support installation and fault resolution while securing sensing-team approval for changes that may affect measurement performance.
  • Prepare bid packages, scopes, cost estimates, schedules, and acceptance criteria; assess proposals and recommend vendors.
  • Lead contractors and design consultants through detailed design and construction activities.
  • Review submittals and field modifications, inspect installations, and correct design or workmanship issues.
  • Coordinate site access, work sequencing, and service impacts with project and operations teams.
  • Evaluate OTDR traces, optical-loss results, copper permanent-link certifications, labeling, and workmanship against requirements.
  • Troubleshoot physical connectivity failures, direct restoration, verify repair quality and service handoff, and update records.
  • Coordinate field activities with site safety and work-control procedures.
  • Maintain auditable fiber records supporting NERC CIP-005/CIP-006 evidence and SOX general-controls change documentation.

Requirements

  • At least seven years of relevant telecommunications infrastructure experience, including OSP fiber and premises fiber or structured-copper design through construction acceptance with independent project ownership.
  • Experience establishing or operating a fiber records program in which a fiber-management system or GIS serves as the authoritative source for strand inventory, splice records, as-builts, and field reconciliation.
  • Experience designing pathways, telecommunications spaces, racks, cabinets, and passive connectivity.
  • Ability to produce or oversee construction drawings and specifications with GIS and CAD tools.
  • Working knowledge of applicable TIA and BICSI practices and installation codes.
  • Ability to convert network, sensing, and other specialist needs into coordinated physical infrastructure designs.
  • Ability to interpret OTDR traces, optical-loss measurements, and copper-cabling certification reports.
  • Ability to troubleshoot physical-layer problems and make evidence-based acceptance decisions.
  • Experience preparing bid packages, managing contractors, resolving field discrepancies, and enforcing documentation and closeout standards.
  • Demonstrated independence, sound technical judgment, clear documentation habits, and the ability to prioritize work across multiple sites while escalating risks with actionable recommendations.
  • Degree in engineering, telecommunications, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
  • BICSI Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) credential preferred.
  • BICSI Outside Plant (OSP) or relevant fiber and copper testing credentials preferred.
  • Background in telecommunications consulting, structured-cabling design, utilities, industrial facilities, or large campus infrastructure preferred.
  • Experience creating a records program from the ground up or deploying GIS and fiber-management tools across multiple sites preferred.
  • Familiarity with fiber-optic sensing, industrial OT/I&C, or infrastructure audit-evidence practices preferred.

Benefits

  • Full-time position.
  • Hybrid work arrangement.
  • Travel averages approximately 30%.
  • Substantial on-site presence is required during construction.
