MDU Fiber Engineer

Wyyerd Fiber is seeking a detail-oriented and experienced MDU Fiber Engineer to lead the

engineering, planning, and implementation of fiber-optic infrastructure within Multi-Dwelling Unit

(MDU) properties. This role is responsible for designing and costing fiber installations in

apartment complexes, condos, townhomes, and mixed-use buildings.

You’ll collaborate closely with construction teams, property managers, sales, and internal

engineering resources to ensure scalable, cost-effective, and timely fiber deployment in MDU

environments.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Fiber Design & Planning

• Design fiber-optic infrastructure for both greenfield and brownfield MDU properties.
• Develop detailed fiber distribution designs (FTTP/FTTB), including riser, lateral, and backbone routes.
• Create construction-ready documents using AutoCAD, Visio, GIS, or fiber design tools.
•  Analyze building plans, floor layouts, and conduit pathways for optimal fiber routing.

2. Site Surveys & Field Engineering

• Conduct in-person site walks and pre-installation surveys to assess serviceability.
• Identify access points, equipment room locations, and pathways for fiber installation.
• Work with property owners and building engineers to coordinate access and installation logistics.

3. Coordination & Project Execution

• Work cross-functionally with internal construction, OSP/ISP teams, permitting, and provisioning teams.
• Support project management teams by providing technical input and addressing field issues.
• Ensure engineering designs are executable and meet local code, safety standards, and customer requirements.

4. Documentation & Compliance

• Maintain detailed documentation for each MDU project, including splicing diagrams, fiber schematics, and BOMs.
• Update fiber asset management tools and records.
• Ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA, local telecom codes, and industry standards.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3 years of experience in fiber engineering or telecom infrastructure, preferably in

MDU/ISP/OSP environments.

• Experience with fiber architectures (GPON, Active Ethernet, FTTx).
• Proficiency with engineering/design tools (e.g., AutoCAD, GIS, Visio, OSPInsight, VETRO).
• Knowledge of structured cabling systems, riser/backbone design, and building telecom codes.
• Ability to interpret architectural and construction drawings.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with MDU deployments (garden-style, mid-rise, high-rise, mixed-use).
• FOA CFOT, BICSI RCDD, or similar certifications.
• Familiarity with permitting and make-ready processes.
• Working knowledge of OSP and ISP fiber construction methods.

Work Conditions:

• Split between office and on-site field visits.
• Travel required within assigned region or project area.
• Must be able to lift up to 25 lbs. and navigate construction environments.
