Responsibilities Include:

• Develop, update, and maintain Microsoft Visio drawings supporting telecommunications surveys, existing conditions documentation, engineering markups, proposed solutions, implementation planning, and project deliverables.
• Translate field notes, survey forms, sketches, redlines, photos, pathway data, cable route information, telecom room data, and legacy records into accurate Visio-based drawings and diagrams.
• Document existing infrastructure including building entrances, MDFs, IDFs, backbone routes, risers, cable pathways, rack layouts, patch fields, OSP routes, OSP-to-ISP transitions, and known constraints.
• Analyze legacy infrastructure and support proposed modernization solutions for fiber backbone, copper cabling, pathways, MDF/IDF layouts, rack elevations, patching, labeling, and cable routing.
• Develop and update floor plan markups, rack elevations, pathway diagrams, cable route drawings, OSP route maps, patch-field diagrams, and endpoint-to-IDF traceability diagrams.
• Read and analyze Microsoft Project files and provide updates to project schedules.
• Coordinate with field technicians to resolve missing, unclear, or conflicting field data.
• Incorporate survey updates, field redlines, engineering comments, QA/QC comments, and customer review comments into controlled Visio files and drawing packages.
• Maintain drawing version control, file naming standards, drawing logs, revision histories, and controlled drawing packages.
• Identify pathway limitations, rack-space constraints, cable management issues, incomplete legacy documentation, and other conditions that may affect proposed design solutions.
• Support preparation of survey acceptance packages, engineering packages, implementation work packages, and final turnover documentation.
• Ensure Visio deliverables are accurate, organized, properly referenced, and consistent with project standards, customer requirements, and engineering direction.

Required Qualifications:

• Active Top Secret clearance.
• Strong proficiency with Microsoft Visio, including technical drawings, floor plan overlays, rack elevations, pathway diagrams, network diagrams, and telecommunications infrastructure layouts.
• Strong proficiency with Microsoft Excel, including schedules, document control spreadsheets, etc.
• Experience developing or maintaining technical drawings for telecommunications, low-voltage, facilities, construction, IT infrastructure, network infrastructure, or engineering projects.
• Experience supporting telecommunications infrastructure design, structured cabling documentation, OSP/ISP planning, network modernization, or low-voltage system design.
• Ability to interpret and update floor plans, field sketches, redlines, telecom drawings, pathway drawings, rack layouts, and infrastructure markups.
• Ability to analyze existing infrastructure documentation and survey data to support proposed telecommunications infrastructure solutions.
• Familiarity with MDFs, IDFs, telecommunications rooms, racks, patch panels, fiber shelves, copper patch panels, backbone cabling, horizontal cabling, cable tray, ladder rack, conduit, sleeves, pathways, risers, building entrances, and OSP/ISP transitions.
• Familiarity with structured cabling concepts, fiber optics, copper cabling, cable routing, labeling, patching, port administration, rack elevations, and pathway design.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Teams.
• Strong attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to manage drawing updates across multiple buildings, floors, telecom rooms, routes, and project phases.
• Ability to work onsite full time in Washington, DC.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting secure federal, DoD, intelligence community, or mission-critical environments.
• Experience supporting structured cabling, fiber optic, copper cabling, OSP/ISP, low-voltage, network modernization, or facilities modernization projects.
• Experience developing proposed infrastructure solutions from legacy or incomplete telecommunications environments.
• Familiarity with BICSI standards, structured cabling documentation, labeling conventions, cable administration, grounding and bonding, pathway fill, and as-built documentation practices.

Physical Demands:

• Ability to sit, stand, walk, and use a computer for extended periods.
• Ability to carry laptops, drawing packages, documentation binders, or related equipment weighing up to 25 pounds as needed.
• Ability to access telecommunications rooms, project work areas, construction areas, survey locations, and secure work areas when required.
• Must comply with all site safety and security requirements.

The projected salary range for this position is $85,000+ annually. Final compensation will be determined based on years of relevant experience, active security clearance level, completed background investigation, Visio proficiency, telecommunications design experience, technical skillset, contract requirements, and overall qualifications.
