Fiber Design Project Lead

As a Project Lead, you will lead a skilled team in delivering engineering designs for advanced fiber networks while driving operational excellence and process improvements. You will collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders, manage end-to-end design workflows, and leverage your technical expertise to ensure high-quality outputs for projects like NGM, SXU, and MXU. This role requires strong leadership, technical proficiency, and adaptability in a rapidly evolving digital environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage end-to-end network design and drafting processes for fiber networks across multiple platforms, including MXU, NGM, and SXU (Wireline).

• Develop and maintain project plans, schedules, and resource allocation to ensure timely delivery.
• Implement and oversee automation tools such as MXU/SXU and NGM Self-QC to improve efficiency and quality.
• Monitor project progress and ensure on-time delivery without escalations.
• Review Low Level Designs (LLD) and High Level Designs (HLD) for fiber networks to ensure compliance with engineering standards.
• Create and update network inventories using ArcGIS and SpatialNet.
• Draft and maintain AutoCAD drawings for telecom fiber networks.
• Analyze network requirements and design FTTx/GPON architectures for deployment.
• Lead the team by conducting daily quality feedback meetings, providing technical training, and mentorship.
• Prepare team readiness plans for new scopes and upcoming projects.
• Collaborate with internal teams, vendors, and customers on project-related discussions.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams for process improvements and troubleshooting complex challenges.
• Support recruitment activities, including interview scheduling and candidate evaluations.
• Maintain accuracy in designs through quality checks and validation processes.
• Create performance dashboards, project status reports, and metrics for leadership.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to optimize workflows and reduce errors.
• Manage invoicing activities with accuracy and timeliness.
• Develop business cases for new projects and process improvements.
• Lead and manage team operations to ensure effective performance and delivery.

• Oversee cost and revenue management to support financial objectives.
