Fiber Network Planner - Damascus Syria

This psition will be based in Damascus, Syria

Deliver OSP design knowledge, expertise, and quality assurance capabilities for civil and fiber infrastructure projects by validating survey outputs, developing implementation-ready designs, preparing engineering documentation, and ensuring compliance with technical standards, project requirements, and industry best practices.

We need strong Technical Planners for greenfield and long networks (Roll out/Operation experience not a priority)

• Review and examine site survey reports for civil and fiber infrastructure to validate the accuracy and completeness of survey documents.
• Analyze field survey outputs, GIS records, route information, existing infrastructure data, and engineering requirements to identify design constraints and project requirements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to confirm survey results, resolve discrepancies, and update design records and inventory information as required.
• Develop civil and fiber network designs using collected survey data, technical specifications, engineering standards, and project requirements.
• Prepare detailed engineering drawings, route layouts, construction plans, and supporting documentation using QGIS, ArcGIS, AutoCAD, or similar engineering design tools.
• Design and validate fiber routes, duct networks, manholes, handholes, cable pathways, and associated OSP civil infrastructure.
• Ensure designs comply with local regulations, national standards, client requirements, and telecom industry best practices.
• Generate and review Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for civil and fiber designs to ensure all required materials, labor, equipment, and construction activities are accurately captured.
• Coordinate with survey teams, implementation teams, operations teams, contractors, and vendors to validate design feasibility and construction requirements.
• Maintain clear documentation of design changes, survey validations, approvals, BOQ revisions, and engineering updates for future reference and audit purposes.
• Review construction feedback and field updates to ensure design documentation remains accurate and current throughout project execution.
• Mark up and validate As-Built redline drawings to accurately capture deviations, adjustments, and final implemented network configurations.
• Support reconciliation of design records with as-built documentation, physical infrastructure, and inventory records.
• Identify design risks, including route conflicts, inaccurate survey information, missing documentation, constructability issues, or compliance gaps.
• Ensure all designs, drawings, BOQs, and supporting documentation are delivered within agreed timelines and quality standards.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or equivalent.
• Minimum 7 years of telecommunications experience with at least 5 years in OSP design and engineering roles within a telecom organization.
• Strong knowledge of OSP civil and fiber infrastructure, design methodologies, engineering standards, related processes, and industry best practices.
• Experience reviewing field survey outputs, validating infrastructure records, and developing implementation-ready civil and fiber designs.
• Strong understanding of fiber networks, duct infrastructure, route planning, construction drawings, BOQ preparation, and As-Built documentation.
• Experience with GIS platforms (QGIS, ArcGIS, or similar), AutoCAD, and market-leading OSP design tools.
• Ability to read, interpret, and validate engineering drawings, survey reports, route plans, and telecom infrastructure documentation.
• Experience coordinating with field teams, implementation teams, contractors, and vendors during design and deployment activities.
• Excellent knowledge of the English language.
