What are the responsibilities and job description for the Traveling Field Engineer - Fiber Documentation Project position at LightPath Engineering, Inc.?
Immediate Openings | Travel Required
LightPath Engineering is looking for reliable, detail-driven Field Engineers to support a fast-paced fiber documentation initiative. You’ll play a key role in expanding broadband access by verifying and mapping telecom infrastructure at MDUs, MTUs, and SFUs. This is meaningful, on-the-ground work—and we’re ready for you to join the team!
Our most urgent need is in the Mid-West, where multiple active sites are ready for immediate deployment. But this is just the beginning. Once this project wraps, more will follow across the U.S. So if you’re someone who thrives on the road, enjoys purposeful work, and wants to be part of a team that truly cares, this could be your next great adventure.
You’ll spend your days in the field documenting aerial and underground fiber and copper routes, collecting geo-tagged photos, and building site summaries we can stand behind. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Just bring a sharp eye, solid follow-through, and a strong sense of ownership.
