Job Description: Fibre Network SurveyorLocation: Dublin(field-based)Employment Type: Full-timeRole OverviewAs a Fibre Network Surveyor you will:Survey and validate routes on the existing telecoms copper network infrastructure (ducts, chambers, poles, facades, MDUs) to prepare for fibre installation.Walk the field routes, inspect existing infrastructure (ducts, chambers, poles, façade access, MDUs) and log status, condition, constraints, and way-leave/permission issues.Use digital GIS/field-mapping apps (e.g., ArcGIS Field Maps, tablets or smartphones) to capture data, photos, update attributes in ArcGIS Survey Maps.Coordinate with desk-based network planners/designers: produce clean survey deliverables, highlight special engineering difficulties (SEDs), civil works requirements, way-leave or permission issues, alternatives.Work on multi-dwelling units (MDUs), façades and pole/duct infrastructure — you'll need to identify existing telecoms plant, deliver feasible fibre-upgrade routes, and propose practical solutions.Be a problem-solver: when you discover unexpected plant or obstructions, you'll propose alternatives, escalate where needed, and collaborate with the team to keep build momentum.Ensure health & safety compliance in field work (risk assessments, site safety, working at height if required, traffic management where relevant).Survey in various environments, sometimes in challenging outdoor environments, sometimes in building complexes.Key ResponsibilitiesConduct on-site surveys of existing copper telecom network infrastructure (ducts, chambers, poles), façades and MDUs, capturing accurate geo-data, photographic evidence and condition reports.Use GIS/field mapping apps to record existing plant, potential conflicts (third-party utilities, buildings, heritage, traffic), and compile route options.Produce survey deliverables: Update survey maps attributes, upload photos, sketches or digital mark-ups, risk/obstruction registers, way-leave/permission logs.Work closely with design/planning teams to feed survey data and highlight where civil works (new ducts, manholes, pole replacements) or special access is required.Identify and log Special Engineering Difficulties (SEDs) and environmental, traffic-management or permission constraints.Liaise with stakeholders: building managers (for MDUs), home owners (for façade installs).Stay safe in the field: complete site risk assessments, follow company and project H&S policies, report any hazards or incidents.Required Skills & ExperienceMinimum 2 years' experience in telecoms survey, fibre network build or related field-based design/support role (surveying ducts/chambers/poles/MDUs).Strong field survey skills and comfort working outdoors in varying conditions (rural/urban, inclement weather).Experience using GIS/field mapping apps (ArcGIS, QGIS or similar) on smartphones/tablets for capturing geodata and attribute information.Comfortable reading and interpreting telecoms infrastructure plans (cable routes, ducts, chambers, poles, MDUs), identifying existing vs new plant.Demonstrated problem-solving mindset — able to identify obstacles, propose alternatives, escalate as needed to keep design deliverables on track.Competent using phone/ tablet to receive work and use digital reporting systems.Excellent communication skills — able to present findings clearly (oral and written) to both field and office teams.Full clean driver's licence and willingness to travel.Health & Safety aware: able to complete site risk assessments, comfortable working near traffic or on site.Desirable: prior experience with fibre network build (FTTP/FTTH) or knowledge of existing copper networks; familiarity with way-leave/permission processes.
