Broadband Engineering Staff

Broadband Engineering Staff

What You'll Be Doing

Broadband Engineering Staff work with colleagues and clients to usher projects through various stages, from start to finish. The types of projects may include multi-year, phased construction projects; grant applications with tight deadlines; federal auctions; and other initiatives.

As a Broadband Engineering Staff team member, you will work as a bridge between onsite boots-on-the-ground staff, contractors, and technical engineering plans, helping bring projects from concept to fruition under the guidance and direction of a licensed Professional Engineer (PE). Common tasks include strategic planning, plans and specifications development, vendor evaluations, and operations reviews. Other responsibilities may include telecommunications network architecture design, electronics system engineering, emerging technology studies, grant and loan application narratives and technical responses, product research, technical system documentation, project management, project acceptance testing, and other related activities. Broadband Engineering Staff team members can expect to communicate frequently with clients and vendors and work on multiple projects simultaneously.

The ideal candidate is organized, eager to learn, professional, and adaptable. Attention to detail and strong interpersonal communication skills are vital. The nature of the role requires a team player – meaning someone who can take ownership of assigned tasks, collaborate well with other members of the team, and proactively seeks to help team members push a project to the finish line. This position does not have supervisory responsibility.

Skills and Requirements

• Attention to detail (proofreading, validating data, etc.)
• Strong interpersonal communication in person, over the phone, via email, and other digital platforms
• Strong written communication (reports, grant applications, etc.)
• Accountability: ability to take ownership and responsibility for assignments, duties, and projects
• Proficiency in common Microsoft programs, including Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
• Ability to learn
• Adaptability
