- Working with Optical Fibre Network and FTTH/FTTP Network Architecture, designing and drafting of underground, buried, and aerial network placement based on duct plans, as well as its structures and equipment such as manholes, splice closures, joint closures, poles, and 48F fibre cables, while following the Openreach policy on construction design and management (CDM).
- Based on the field chief engineer's provided RF data sheets, A55 (Civils Diagram), and PTW (Permission to Work) documents, we validate the check points, such as EU name, address, Geo Hub images marked with duct length, private or public job, site images, and traffic management, tree cutting, and scaffolding requirements. After validating all the checkpoints, we then send the planning team to create the civils estimate.
- We are validating the order journey (Service Delivery) of FTTP/FTTH network service to the users; thus, the work of Openreach.
- Ensured that the quality standard meets customer specifications for URE (JUF, JMF, JBF, JOINT BOX), equipment route line, drop line, and pole according to the requirements of the field engineer by using PIPER tools (BT Company tools).
- We are validating the validation sheet of FTTP/FTTH network services to the users, thus the work of Openreach.
- Working knowledge of 96F, 48F, 12F, and 6F core fibre planning as distribution cables and feeder cables.
