Designer Engineer

Job Description

Job Summary:

We are looking for an experienced and detail-oriented Telecoms Design Engineer to support the planning, design, and development of telecommunications infrastructure. This role involves creating high-quality technical designs for telecom systems—such as fiber optic, copper, and wireless networks—ensuring they meet performance, regulatory, and client requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design telecommunications networks including fiber optics, copper, and wireless systems for both greenfield and upgrade projects.

• Prepare and review technical drawings, schematics, layouts, and design documentation using CAD/GIS tools (e.g., AutoCAD, Visio, MicroStation).

• Develop detailed design packs including route planning, equipment placement, and infrastructure specifications.

• Ensure compliance with industry standards, health and safety regulations, and local planning guidelines.

• Conduct site surveys, feasibility studies, and network assessments.

• Collaborate with project managers, field engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure successful project execution.
