Onsite daily in Las Vegas, NV only. Remote/Hybrid not an option for this role.

This role supports the documentation, mapping, and ongoing maintenance of Switch’s fiber network infrastructure. The position focuses primarily on GIS-based network documentation and mapping, ensuring accurate records of outside plant (OSP) and inside plant (ISP) fiber infrastructure.

You will use GIS platforms, primarily 3-GIS, to create, update, and maintain fiber network maps, infrastructure records, and design documentation. The role also includes supporting field teams with inspections, fiber installation activities, and restoration events to ensure the network is accurately documented and maintained. This position is ideal for someone early in their career with GIS experience and an interest in telecommunications infrastructure.

• Create, update, and maintain fiber network records using GIS platforms, primarily 3-GIS
• Develop and maintain accurate network maps, route documentation, and as-built records
• Support the documentation of OSP and ISP fiber infrastructure, including conduit, splice points, and fiber routes
• Work with engineering and field teams to ensure GIS records reflect real-world network conditions
• Assist with site inspections and verification of fiber infrastructure
• Maintain splice records, GIS data layers, and KMZ network files
• Support the planning and documentation of fiber installation, splicing, and testing work
• Track work activities, infrastructure updates, and materials using internal systems
• Assist with network restoration documentation and updates during outage events
• Occasionally support installation or maintenance activities in data centers or remote facilities

• A detail-oriented professional who values accurate documentation and mapping
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple updates and records
• Clear communication when coordinating with engineers, field teams, and vendors
• Interest in telecommunications, fiber networks, or infrastructure mapping

• Basic understanding of infrastructure mapping or utility networks
• Valid driver’s license for company vehicle use
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds occasionally
• Willingness to participate in an on-call rotation for network support events

Preferred

• Experience with 3-GIS or other fiber/network mapping systems
• Experience in telecommunications, fiber optics, utilities, or infrastructure environments
• Exposure to fiber network concepts such as splice points, fiber routes, and conduit systems
• Familiarity with Visio, Bluebeam, or similar documentation tools
• Understanding of fiber types (single-mode, multi-mode) or structured cabling
