Overview

The Senior Engineer will support the project teams with varying degrees of direct project responsibilities while maintaining an in-depth knowledgebase of the telecommunications site development process. Project work will focus on new site development of macro and small cell sites, the modification of existing telecommunications facilities, fiber optic networks, and other project types as required. Responsibilities will focus on engineering tower and compound as well as creating fiber optic network designs and maintaining effective job flow while managing multiple projects. Senior Engineer assists the NB C manager with the delegation of assignments, resource allocation, and the oversight of quality and timeliness of deliverables while utilizing an understanding of client-specific telecommunications equipment and their usage.
