Ability to perform all duties of an OSP Technician.
Experience with mapping, boundary, topographic, and as-built surveys, plus construction and ROW staking using digital applications.
Knowledge of telecom construction practices and techniques related to utility work.
Proficiency operating GPS equipment and strong computer skills (Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel).
Strong communication skills and the ability to build effective relationships with supervisors, clients, the public, and staff.
Sharp attention to detail, the ability to work independently, and a knack for analyzing needs and recommending solutions.

Must have a valid driver's license and be able to pass a substance abuse screening test.

Work Schedule:
