Outside & Plant Planner

Join the nation’s leading independent service provider for critical telecommunication and renewable energy infrastructure. Pearce delivers comprehensive engineering, maintenance, repair, and repowering solutions across wireless, wireline telecom, solar, wind, EV charging, and large‑scale power generation, critical power, and energy storage assets.

As an FTTH Planner, you design scalable, cost‑effective fiber‑to‑the‑home distribution networks that accelerate residential and commercial broadband deployment. You translate survey data, demand forecasts, and existing OSP conditions into accurate, constructible plans that reduce rework and build costs. By delivering complete, compliant design packages—BOMs, CCTs, Brain outputs, diagrams, and clear documentation—you keep permitting and construction moving on schedule and within budget while improving service coverage, network reliability, and long‑term maintainability.

• Produce detailed F2 distribution network designs aligned with standards, engineering principles, and client specifications.
• Build and maintain 3
  
  GIS‑based FTTH plans (feeder, distribution, and drop), including fiber routes, splitter placement, and cable sizing to meet coverage and take‑rate targets.
• Analyze survey data and existing OSP infrastructure to optimize routes, minimize CAPEX, and enhance constructability.
• Generate full design deliverables:
  Bills of Materials (BOMs), CCTs, Brain outputs, diagrams, and construction packages.
• Ensure adherence to local regulations, permitting requirements, and industry best practices.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with engineering, permitting, and construction teams; provide clear redlines, markups, and revisions.
• Maintain accurate mapping, records, and version control across design systems and trackers.
• Utilize design software and toolsets (3
  
  GIS, CCT, Brain, and related FTTH planning platforms) to validate and QA designs.

• 3–5 years in FTTH network design/planning with a strong focus on the F2 distribution layer.
• Hands‑on proficiency with 3
  
  GIS (or similar CAD/GIS) design tools and data management systems.
• Solid knowledge of GPON/XGS‑PON architectures, fiber optics, and passive optical network principles.
• Demonstrated ability to produce engineering plans (F2 diagrams), BOMs, CCTs, Brain outputs; familiarity with Site Tracker a plus.
• Understanding of local permitting processes and utility coordination (asset).
• Strong analytical and organizational skills for complex service‑provider architectures and multi‑stakeholder projects.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to convert complex technical data into clear, actionable documentation.
• Proven collaborator in cross‑functional and remote settings; comfortable working independently with high attention to detail.
• Working knowledge of broadband telecom and OSP engineering practices with a continuous‑improvement mindset and on‑time, on‑budget delivery.
