Prior experience with fiber, small cell, or DAS projects is preferred but not required.
Working knowledge of public ROWs, utility easements, and common infrastructure layouts.
Familiarity with GIS platforms like QGIS or ArcGIS is preferred, but not required.
Ability to read and interpret engineering/construction drawings accurately.
Comfortable prioritizing tasks across multiple deadlines and projects.

Self‑motivated, detail‑oriented, and able to work both independently and on a team.

Must possess a valid driver’s license and a clean driving record (past 5 years).
Must pass a criminal background check and drug screening.
