Support infrastructure routing, network design and spatial decision making
Collaborate with design and engineering teams to deliver efficient fibre network solutions
Maintain and update GIS datasets for fibre optic network infrastructure using ArcGIS, QGIS and/or 3-GIS platforms
Capture, validate, and manage spatial and attribute data for network assets (cables, ducts, pits, splice points, fibres)
Produce high-quality maps, schematics, spatial reports and outputs for internal and external stakeholders
Ensure data quality, integrity, and compliance with company data models and standards
Perform data imports/exports and support integration between GIS, design tools (e.g., Visio), and network inventory systems
Support as-built documentation workflows, ensuring field updates are accurately reflected in GIS systems
Assist in troubleshooting GIS data issues and improving data structures and workflows

Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage and validate large datasets
Analytical thinking and problem-solving capability in technical environments
Good communication skills and ability to work collaboratively with design, engineering, and field teams
Proactive approach with a willingness to learn and improve systems and processes
Desirable
Experience working in a telecommunications or utilities environment, particularly fibre networks.
Familiarity with 3-GIS workflows, including fibre path modelling, splice management, and network tracing.
Exposure to ArcGIS extensions or tools (e.g., Utility Network, Spatial Analyst).
Knowledge of additional network inventory systems such as Smallworld or IQGeo.
Experience with data automation or scripting (e.g., Python, SQL, ArcPy).
Basic understanding of CAD/design tools (e.g., AutoCAD, Visio).
