We are seeking a Scoping Engineer to oversee the technical aspects of telecommunications equipment deployment and site scoping. In this role, you will evaluate sites, review construction drawings, create Scopes of Work (SOWs), and ensure alignment with customer and project requirements. You will play a critical role in site constructability, material procurement, and project planning through site walks, desktop reviews, and aerial imagery analysis. Your technical expertise and proactive problem-solving will ensure efficient site build-outs and project success.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and document detailed per-site Scope of Work (SOW) and Bill of Materials (BOM) , including work types, drivers, and materials.
• Review and analyze technical documentation (e.g., construction drawings, RF design sheets, and structural/mount designs) for accuracy and constructability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to review and address discrepancies, propose site constructability changes, and ensure compliance with project requirements.
• Utilize drone survey data, RF design, and customer specifications to create step-by-step build methodologies.
• Identify customer- and supplier-facing drivers and document them appropriately.
• Support stakeholders with day-to-day build plans, outage planning, and scope adjustments.
• Review supplier quotes for accuracy, ensuring they meet scope requirements, and approve/reject as necessary.
• Identify rigging, crane, and equipment needs to support site builds.
• Participate in project planning meetings, address technical issues, and ensure alignment across stakeholders.
• Prepare detailed reports, status updates, and recommendations for problem resolution.

Behavioral Competencies:

• Entrepreneurial mindset with commercial thinking.
• Ability to work with minimal supervision in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong analytical and decision-making skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration abilities across teams and with customers.
• Adaptable to changing priorities and able to multitask effectively.
• Innovative thinking with a focus on results.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Education & Experience:
• Bachelor’s degree preferred or equivalent work experience (2-5 years in the telecom industry).
• Experience managing cell site construction and technology upgrades.
• Familiarity with site design solutions, construction feasibility, and RFDS requirements.

Technical Knowledge:

• Strong understanding of cell site construction processes, safety protocols, and equipment requirements.
• Knowledge of structural design, rigging, and crane operations.
• Ability to estimate construction scopes, generate BOMs, and oversee contractors.
• Experience with telecom RAN equipment and large-scale deployment projects.

Software Tools:

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook).
• Familiarity with databases, virtualization tools, and telecom-specific tools (e.g., site tracking systems).
• Knowledge of site design and documentation tools.

Additional Skills:

• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Knowledge of contracts and quality standards.
• OSHA 10 or 30 certification preferred (depending on scope).

Desired Experience:

• Experience working with telecom equipment (e.g., Ericsson portfolio or similar).
• Familiarity with scoping for large-scale telecom projects and AT&T deployment standards.
• Experience in tower and civil construction management.
• Advanced Excel or programming skills are a plus.

About the Role:

This position offers a unique opportunity to leverage your expertise in telecom construction and scoping to support critical infrastructure projects. You will play a vital role in planning, executing, and optimizing site deployments while collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders.

Note: Candidates must have experience with telecom equipment and scoping processes, specifically related to deployment on Ericsson-equivalent equipment and AT&T standards.
