  • Preparing 2‑D CAD drawings, construction‑ready design packages, redlines and supporting documentation
  • Managing design projects from planning through completion, including status tracking, issue resolution and stakeholder coordination
  • Applying industry standards and specifications to ensure designs are accurate, compliant and buildable
  • Supporting QA/QC reviews and maintaining strong design quality across project deliverables
  • Assisting and mentoring junior designers as the team continues to growns.
What They’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of drafting/design experience within civil, utility or telecommunications projects
  • Strong proficiency with AutoCAD and Spatial Net
  • Working knowledge of OSP design methods, including GPON, FTTx, MDU, civil, copper, pole lines, feeder fibre, coax and HFC
  • Ability to work across multiple design types and adapt to new project requirements
  • Strong understanding of industry standards, constructability and design quality
  • High attention to detail, with the ability to QA your own work and support review of others’ work
  • Confident communicator who can clearly explain design decisions while remaining open to feedback
  • Comfortable working in a high-output environment with changing priorities and timelines
  • Proficiency with Google Suite or equivalent Microsoft applications
Why This Role
  • Join an experienced design team working on meaningful telecom infrastructure projects
  • Prospect to step into a senior‑level role with hands‑on technical ownership
  • Exposure to complex fibre, civil, cable and pole‑line design work
  • Supportive team environment with ongoing training and mentorship
