Role Purpose:
The Field Engineer will own the full delivery cycle of assigned telecom / low current projects: site survey, planning, installation supervision, quality & safety compliance, documentation, client coordination, handover, and support to invoicing. You will be the primary point of contact for day-to-day client technical queries and ensure issues are resolved promptly and professionally.

Track daily progress (percent complete, installed quantities) and update look ahead schedules.
Maintain project logs: issues, RFIs, variations / change requests, NCRs, and risk register.
Provide timely responses to client technical queries and escalate blockers with mitigation options.
Prepare as-built drawings (in coordination with drafting / AutoCAD), test reports, and handover dossiers.
Obtain progressive sign offs: inspection requests, milestone completion, final acceptance.

Submit documentation packages required for invoice approval and follow up until confirmation.
Support collection steps (clarifications, re-submissions) without engaging in financial negotiation.
Maintain accurate asset and labeling records for future maintenance reference.
Drive continuous improvement (lessons learned, standard templates, recurring issue prevention).

Strong client-facing communication (written & verbal) and issue resolution mindset.

Experience with fiber testing tools (OTDR, power meter), copper certification, or network device staging.
