Job Description

You’ll be working on active fibre rollout projects where accuracy matters, drawings are used on the ground, and your planning directly impacts build quality and network performance.
A well-established organisation in the telecommunications and fibre infrastructure space is looking to appoint a Telecoms Network Planner – Fibre to support projects from initial site survey through to final network handover.
This is a practical, delivery-focused role combining site work, technical planning, and quality control. You’ll engage with civil teams, fibre floating teams, splicers, and quality managers to ensure that planning documentation is accurate, compliant, and build-ready.
Why this role stands out:

You’re involved across the full fibre lifecycle, not just behind a desk
Strong balance between fieldwork and planning
Your work directly supports construction, splicing, and network activation
Trusted with responsibility rather than micromanaged

The business is an established player within the telecommunications infrastructure sector, delivering fibre networks with a strong focus on quality, compliance, and execution.
If you want a role where your planning work is taken seriously and used in the field — not corrected after the fact — this is the kind of environment you’ll thrive in.
What you’ll be responsible for on a day-to-day basis:

Conducting on-site surveys of telecom routes and existing infrastructure
Taking measurements, opening and inspecting manholes, and assessing usable infrastructure
Producing complete planning packs including civil layouts, fibre floating plans, and splicing diagrams
Creating wayleave drawings for council submissions
Compiling and verifying as-built documentation after construction
Reviewing as-built information from site teams to ensure accuracy
Capturing and validating network data on OSP Insight
Managing queries and rejections between As-Build and Quality teams
Supporting splicing teams with correct fibre allocations
Assisting with fault reference allocation where required

What we’re looking for:

A minimum of 3 years’ experience in fibre network planning
Solid understanding of fibre infrastructure, OSP planning, and as-built processes
Strong practical experience conducting site surveys
Confident using Microsoft Visio for planning and drawings
Experience working with as-built documentation and quality checks
Exposure to OSP Insight will be highly advantageous
