Role overview

Due to continued expansion in telecommunications, the company is looking for a Telecoms Designer to join its national telecommunications design function. The role is best suited to someone with substantial design and field experience on recoverable works projects, particularly within Telstra and NBN customer access networks.

Strong familiarity with communications manholes, pits, pipes and cables is expected, along with a solid grasp of telecom civil construction methods. Recent, practical knowledge of Telstra, NBN and Optus external network structures is important. The ability to interpret civil roadworks engineering plans would be an advantage, and broad knowledge of civil construction techniques is highly valued.

Applicants should have operational knowledge of Telstra and NBN systems, a current driver licence, and proven understanding of Telstra/NBN copper networks as well as fibre networks used by Telstra, NBN and other carriers.

AutoCAD capability is beneficial. The successful candidate should also be committed to delivering high-quality outcomes, be self-directed, and be able to work independently.
