Position Overview:

We are seeking a detail-oriented and organized Aerial OSP Inspector who supports fiber construction projects throughout Clearnetworx's service territory. This field-based position evaluates proposed aerial construction routes, develops practical approaches for challenging work, inspects completed production, verifies daily reporting, and monitors construction-material inventory. The inspector works closely with internal construction crews, subcontractors, project managers, engineers, and local authorities to ensure aerial fiber facilities are built safely, efficiently, and in accordance with approved plans, company requirements, applicable codes, utility-owner standards, and municipal requirements. The position will report to the Cable & Splicing Manager.

Key Responsibilities:

Pre-Construction Field Planning Drive and inspect proposed aerial construction routes before work begins. Identify challenging locations, including difficult pole lines, access limitations, road or utility conflicts, make-ready concerns, clearance issues, and other constructability risks. Develop practical field plans and recommended construction approaches for complex work. Document field conditions through notes, photographs, measurements, and marked-up plans. Communicate anticipated obstacles, material needs, access requirements, and schedule impacts to project leadership. Coordinate with engineering and construction teams when field conditions differ from approved plans. Construction Inspection and Production Approval Inspect aerial fiber construction performed by internal crews and subcontractors. Review daily production reports for accuracy, completeness, and alignment with work completed in the field. Approve production quantities only after verifying that the reported work is complete and acceptable. Confirm construction complies with approved designs, company quality standards, utility-owner requirements, applicable industry standards, permit conditions, and requirements of the jurisdiction where the work is performed. Verify appropriate installation practices, including attachment placement, cable sag, clearances, anchoring, guying, grounding and bonding where applicable, identification, and restoration. Document deficiencies and incomplete work, communicate required corrections, and verify that corrective work is completed before final acceptance. Maintain clear inspection records, photographs, punch lists, and production-approval documentation. Escalate safety, quality, design, or compliance concerns to the appropriate manager. Inventory Monitoring Monitor aerial construction-material inventory at assigned company yards. Track stock levels of commonly used materials and identify potential shortages before they affect construction schedules. Compare material usage with production activity and report significant discrepancies. Review subcontractor inventory submissions for accuracy, completeness, and reasonableness. Coordinate with warehouse, procurement, project-management, and field personnel to support timely replenishment and accurate material accountability. Assist with periodic inventory counts, reconciliation, and material audits as needed. Required Qualifications High school diploma or equivalent required. At least 3 years of experience in aerial telecommunications, fiber construction, OSP inspection, utility construction, or a closely related field preferred. Working knowledge of aerial fiber construction methods, pole-line hardware, strand placement, cable installation, anchoring, guying, and utility clearances. Ability to interpret construction prints, route maps, pole data, permits, specifications, and field documentation. Familiarity with applicable safety and construction requirements, including OSHA practices, the National Electrical Safety Code, utility-owner standards, and local jurisdictional requirements. Experience inspecting subcontractor work and validating production quantities is preferred. Experience tracking construction materials or reconciling field inventory is preferred. Strong written, verbal, organizational, and problem-solving skills. Ability to work independently, prioritize multiple projects, and make sound field decisions. Comfortable using mobile devices, digital mapping applications, spreadsheets, production-reporting systems, and photo-documentation tools. Valid driver's license and an acceptable driving record. Physical and Work Requirements Ability to travel extensively throughout Clearnetworx's service territory, including remote and mountainous areas. Ability to drive for extended periods and safely operate a company vehicle in changing road and weather conditions.
