Wyyerd Fiber is seeking a detail-oriented and experienced MDU Fiber Engineer to lead the
engineering, planning, and implementation of fiber-optic infrastructure within Multi-Dwelling Unit(MDU) properties. This role is responsible for designing and costing fiber installations inapartment complexes, condos, townhomes, and mixed-use buildings.You’ll collaborate closely with construction teams, property managers, sales, and internalengineering resources to ensure scalable, cost-effective, and timely fiber deployment in MDUenvironments.Key Responsibilities:1. Fiber Design & Planning
- Design fiber-optic infrastructure for both greenfield and brownfield MDU properties.
- Develop detailed fiber distribution designs (FTTP/FTTB), including riser, lateral, and backbone routes.
- Create construction-ready documents using AutoCAD, Visio, GIS, or fiber design tools.
- Analyze building plans, floor layouts, and conduit pathways for optimal fiber routing.
2. Site Surveys & Field Engineering
- Conduct in-person site walks and pre-installation surveys to assess serviceability.
- Identify access points, equipment room locations, and pathways for fiber installation.
- Work with property owners and building engineers to coordinate access and installation logistics.
3. Coordination & Project Execution
- Work cross-functionally with internal construction, OSP/ISP teams, permitting, and provisioning teams.
- Support project management teams by providing technical input and addressing field issues.
- Ensure engineering designs are executable and meet local code, safety standards, and customer requirements.

- Maintain detailed documentation for each MDU project, including splicing diagrams, fiber schematics, and BOMs.
- Update fiber asset management tools and records.
- Ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA, local telecom codes, and industry standards.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- 3+ years of experience in fiber engineering or telecom infrastructure, preferably in
MDU/ISP/OSP environments.
- Experience with fiber architectures (GPON, Active Ethernet, FTTx).
- Proficiency with engineering/design tools (e.g., AutoCAD, GIS, Visio, OSPInsight, VETRO).
- Knowledge of structured cabling systems, riser/backbone design, and building telecom codes.
- Ability to interpret architectural and construction drawings.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with MDU deployments (garden-style, mid-rise, high-rise, mixed-use).
- FOA CFOT, BICSI RCDD, or similar certifications.
- Familiarity with permitting and make-ready processes.
- Working knowledge of OSP and ISP fiber construction methods.
Work Conditions:
- Split between office and on-site field visits.
- Travel required within assigned region or project area.
