The Project Engineer acts as a liaison between the Project Managers and coordinators and technical disciplines, responsible for the delivery of the project (i.e. Design, Implementation, Network). They may also serve as a primary point of contact in relation to a project for internal and/or external customers (i.e. Sales, SAQ, customers).
He/She will survey designated sites and work with the fiber designer, or act as the fiber designer, to create specification documentations that follow company best practice standards. They will also deliver implementation plans in addition to specifications where required.
Also, the Project Engineer will be responsible to drive the implementation via the Implementation Team Lead once the Project Manager allocates the resources. The Project Engineer will continue to support implementations by clarifying plans, work on changes and assist in clearing roadblocks to encourage timely delivery. He/She may manage external teams in this capacity.
After implementation, the Project Engineer will ensure quality and manage team to rectify anything that is not in specification. If cleared, he/she will ensure all documentation is submitted, including the as-built plan.
The role is expected to work closely with the Fiber Designers, Implementation Lead, and the external vendors to deliver services to clients in a timely, efficient manner. A Project Engineer, if so able, may take the role of a Fiber Designer where required.
