Job Overview

The Fiber Network Engineer is responsible for the strategic planning, design, and management of the City’s fiber optic communication infrastructure.

  • Conduct site surveys, network modeling, and analysis to optimize fiber facilities and ensure system reliability.
  • Project & Capital Management: Lead capital improvement projects, including scoping, budgeting, and procurement. Manage the full project lifecycle: consultant selection, design review, permitting, contract administration, and construction oversight.
  • Operations & Maintenance: Oversee the installation, repair, and renewal of fiber infrastructure. Diagnose system failures, coordinate emergency repairs, and provide technical support to field personnel and Information Technology teams.
  • Administrative & Strategic Leadership: Manage service agreements, leases, and contract negotiations with partner agencies and vendors. Develop long-term strategic plans and ensure all work adheres to local, state, and federal regulations.
  • Documentation & Reporting: Maintain detailed engineering documentation, including as-built drawings, schematics, and fiber databases. Prepare comprehensive project reports and monitor equipment inventory.
  • Supervision & Collaboration: Supervise the fiber optic workgroup, including hiring, training, and performance evaluations. Collaborate with city departments, developers, and regulatory agencies to integrate fiber with other city infrastructure (SCADA, radio, etc.).
Qualifications & Skills
Education: Degree in Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related field.
Experience: Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in fiber optic design, implementation, and project management.
Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of fiber optic transmission systems, outside plant (OSP) design, and network architecture. Proficiency in design software and database management.
Leadership: Proven ability to manage multidisciplinary teams, contractors, and large-scale budgets.
Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills for negotiating contracts and presenting technical data to stakeholders.
Analytical Skills: Strong problem-solving abilities with a focus on network optimization and troubleshooting complex system failures.
