OSP Construction Inspector in Training (FTTH)

Employment Type
Regular - Full time Department Civil # of openings 1

Every build we take on ends with a community connected to a fiber network it will rely on for years. As an outside plant (OSP) Construction Inspector, you'll help make sure it gets built right. Maybe you've worked around construction or telecom before, or maybe you're ready to start a career in fiber. Either way, we'll train you on the standards, the drawings, and what good work looks like, then put you in charge of checking subcontractor crews on fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) projects from pre-construction walkouts through closeout.

Your days are spent outside walking routes, tracking crew production, catching problems early, and documenting everything, in all weather. You'll work independently, so you'll need to know where to be and when without anyone reminding you. There's room to grow from this role within Telecon.

This role is for someone who picks things up fast and finishes what they start. When something on a job doesn't look right, you ask until it makes sense, and you remember it next time. Construction, telecom, or fiber experience helps, but it isn't required. If you've been looking for a real way into fiber construction and you're ready to earn it, start here.
