Inside Plant (ISP) Fiber Optic Engineer – High-Tech Connectivity

AECOM is seeking a highly motivated Inside Plant (ISP) Fiber Optic Engineer to support the planning design coordination and delivery of fiber optic pathway and passive connectivity infrastructure for high-tech mission-critical and technology-intensive clients and facilities.

This position is focused on the physical infrastructure that enables reliable scalable and resilient fiber connectivity within buildings and across complex campuses. The role will support the design and coordination of inside plant pathways fiber optic cabling telecommunications spaces racks and cabinets fiber distribution and termination systems and the critical transition between outside plant (OSP) and inside plant (ISP) infrastructure.

Projects may include hyperscale and cloud infrastructure advanced manufacturing and semiconductor facilities research and technology campuses telecommunications facilities mission-critical environments and other large-scale technology-intensive programs.

The successful candidate will understand the complete physical connectivity path from the point where outside plant infrastructure enters a facility through telecommunications and distribution spaces to the passive interface with network and technology equipment.

This role requires a practical understanding of how fiber infrastructure is planned designed coordinated installed tested documented and maintained. The engineer will work closely with multidisciplinary design teams to develop solutions that address pathway capacity physical route diversity resiliency constructability maintainability scalability and future expansion.
