## Description

As a GIS Planner on our Telecom team, you will support the planning and design of fiber-optic networks and broadband infrastructure. You will work closely with engineers, designers, and project teams to develop High Level Designs (HLDs) for large-scale fiber deployment programs using Esri GIS tools and other telecommunications planning resources.

In this role, you will use GIS to review and manipulate spatial data, perform network and spatial analysis, identify serviceable locations, evaluate existing infrastructure, and develop efficient fiber routes. You will assist with planning Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) networks and help develop feeder and distribution routes, service areas, network boundaries, and other network elements needed to support broadband expansion.

You will work with a variety of GIS datasets, including address and passing data, existing utility infrastructure, rights-of-way, roads, parcels, aerial imagery, and telecommunications network information. Your ability to understand project requirements, analyze large datasets, identify constraints, and translate that information into practical network designs will be an important part of this position.

You may also support data collection activities and travel to project locations for field observations when needed.
