Successfully planned and designed Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) projects for 67 estates, connecting approximately 10,000 homes and businesses to high-speed fiber connections. As part of my role, I conducted technical site surveys to assess the technical and financial requirements for provisioning new clients. Utilizing GPON technology, I carefully planed and designed the FTTX network infrastructure. I create detailed drawings using QGIS/AutoCAD software and generate accurate Bill of Materials. Maintaining up-to-date engineering documentation files was an essential part of my responsibilities.Additionally, I coordinated a smooth handover from the design development phase to the deployment phase by providing detailed schematics, specifications, and instructions, ensuring quality and performance targets are met. To minimize build errors, I closely monitored the implementation of completed designs. In order to continuously improve systems, I analyze current implementations, identify deficiencies, determine root causes, and develop effective solutions.Furthermore, I actively collaborated with the deployment team to address any build issues that arise, ensuring a seamless and efficient implementation process.

I actively participated in project planning, which included surveying potential fibre routes and carefully selecting the most optimal and cost-effective route based on the findings. To accomplish this, I utilized various tools such as Google Earth, GIS, and AutoCad to design the fibre optics network route.To ensure accurate budgeting and resource allocation, I prepared a comprehensive "Bill of Quantity" for the project. Collaborating closely with external contractors and vendors, I successfully facilitated the transition of projects from the conceptual design stage to their actual implementation.I diligently supervised the construction process, ensuring that all materials used adhered to the required specifications and measurements. Moreover, I diligently tracked project timelines and expenditures, guaranteeing that all projects were completed on time and within the allocated budget.In addition to overseeing the project's execution, I also undertook responsibilities in the documentation and reporting aspects. I diligently prepared detailed project reports and maintained accurate documentation throughout the project's lifecycle.Furthermore, I effectively managed a dedicated team responsible for the maintenance of the fibre network, ensuring its uninterrupted operation. Additionally, I handled customer interactions and inquiries related to the fibre network, providing necessary assistance and support.Lastly, I regularly prepared and delivered maintenance reports to relevant stakeholders, providing them with crucial updates and insights on the network's performance.
