Reports to: Project Manager - Field Jobs
Role Summary:
The Field Surveyor for the AT&T ASE and FOB/Light Gig projects is responsible for conducting on-site surveys to gather precise data and ensure the efficient and effective design of fiber optic infrastructure. This position involves collaborating with customers to assess Minimum Point of Entry (MPOE) or Telco room requirements, surveying existing conditions, and reporting on residential and business units within designated Distribution Areas (DAs). The role requires extensive fieldwork to confirm that each fiber path is feasible, legally compliant, and in alignment with AT&T’s Statement of Work (SOW) and project standards.
Key Responsibilities:
Customer Engagement and MPOE Assessment:

• Meet with customers and stakeholders on-site to determine MPOE/Telco room requirements, ensuring customer needs align with AT&T standards and project requirements.
• Collect and document all necessary specifications for the MPOE, enabling a streamlined setup for the fiber network.

Fiber Path Engineering and Design:

• Collaborate closely with the engineering team to assess AT&T records, work prints, and field conditions, determining the most efficient and cost-effective fiber paths.
• Conduct detailed field surveys to identify and document the best fiber route from MPOE to customer premises, ensuring accuracy for future construction and network implementation.

Placement of Primary Flexibility Points (PFPs) in FOB/Light Gig Projects:

• Analyze field conditions to identify optimal PFP locations in the F1 project area based on AT&T SOW, ensuring strategic and cost-efficient placement.
• Survey and report existing field conditions, measurements, and obstacles in the F2 DA boundary from the proposed PFP location, supporting efficient fiber connectivity and network layout.

Address and Unit Verification within DAs:

• Identify and log all residential and business units within the Distribution Area (DA) boundary, confirming address accuracy and occupancy details for network planning.
• Provide thorough documentation of each surveyed address to assist with network planning and service activation.

Feasibility and Compliance Checks:

• Verify that each proposed cable path is feasible for construction and complies with legal and regulatory requirements.
• Review plats, county records, and any necessary easement documentation to ensure routes are within designated rights of way and that no legal barriers impact construction.

Qualifications and Skills:
Education:

• High school diploma or equivalent; an associate’s degree or technical certification in surveying, telecommunications, or a related field is preferred.

Experience:

• 2+ years of field surveying experience in telecommunications, fiber optics, or FTTH projects, with experience on AT&T projects a strong advantage.

Technical Skills:

• Proficiency with surveying equipment, GIS tools, and basic mapping software.
• Familiarity with AT&T work prints, SOW requirements, and fiber network design standards is highly desirable.
• Competency in reading plats and county records for easement and right-of-way verification.
