MDU Fiber Construction Inspector (OSP/FTTH)

Position Overview

Every build we take on ends with a community connected to a fiber network it will rely on for years. As a Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) Fiber Construction Inspector, you make sure it gets built right. You'll oversee subcontractor crews on MDU and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) projects, covering outside plant (OSP) work and inside wiring, from pre-construction walkouts through closeout, holding their work to the drawings and client standards.

You'll work on your own, without a supervisor on site. Expect to walk routes, track subcontractor production, catch problems before they become change orders, and document it all. The work moves between active construction zones and the inside of apartment and condo buildings, in all weather. Days typically run 7 to 5, with evenings and weekends when a project calls for it. There's room to grow from this role within Telecon.

This role fits someone who has already done quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) inspection and overseen subcontractor crews on fiber, telecom, or utility work. You read construction drawings, route maps, utility prints, and as-builts with confidence, and you know when work has drifted outside the scope of work. You stay organized across several jobs and can tell a subcontractor to redo work without damaging the relationship. If you want to be the reason a job closes out clean, this is that role.
