Plan, secure, and manage all telecom/ICT NOCs, duct routes, building entry, risers, and service activations with e&/du from design to handover—ensuring compliant infrastructure, timely approvals, and active services—while accounting for Sharjah weather and traffic/logistics constraints.
OSP (outside plant): provider duct tie-ins, road crossings, handholes/manholes, micro-/multi-ducts, draw ropes, BEP (Building Entry Point).
ISP (inside plant): BEP cabinet/ODF, backbone fiber to MDF/IDF, risers/trunking, trays, grounding/bonding, labeling, apartment/office last-mile conduits.
Services: fiber pull/splicing, OTDR & continuity testing, number/Internet activation coordination, shared antenna/SMATV and IPTV interfaces (if specified).
Collect provider constraints: nearest network, spare ducts, connection policy, BEP location, riser sizing, setback/wayleave limits.
Advise architect/MEP on builder’s works (duct sizes/quantities, BEP/MDF/IDF room requirements, clearances, penetrations, firestopping).
Arrange utility detection/trial pits where OSP crosses public ways; coordinate survey/as-built base maps.
Prepare and submit NOC packages: OSP route drawings, cross-sections, handhole details, TMPs (Traffic Management Plans), ISP layouts (BEP/ODF/MDF/IDF), labeling and grounding schemes.
Track comments, re-submissions, and appointment bookings; maintain a live authority tracker with target vs. actual dates.
Secure permits for road cutting/occupancy and supervise duct laying, handholes, mandrelling/proving, and reinstatement to standards.
Oversee BEP/ODF installation, fiber backbones, risers/trays/conduits, firestopping, and separation from power per provider/TIA requirements.
Coordinate ELV endpoints (FTTH/FTTB, voice/data outlets) and apartment/shop pull strings.
Plan and witness OTDR/optical loss and continuity tests; ensure splice records and loss budgets meet provider specs.
Coordinate service activation (voice/data/Internet), numbering, and CPE handover.
Compile as-built drawings, splicing diagrams, labeling schedules (TIA-606), test reports, warranties, and provider acceptance letters; train client/FM on basic checks.
Implement method statements/ITPs for trenching, cable pulling, splicing, and work at height; enforce barricading, lighting, and safe pedestrian routes.
Protect existing utilities; manage confined-space entries (handholes/manholes) and LOTO around electrical interfaces.
Issue a detailed telecom programme aligned with the baseline (design, NOCs, OSP works, ISP fit-out, testing, activation).
Provide weekly reports: approval aging, upcoming inspections/appointments, risks, and recovery actions.
Heat & Humidity:
Schedule trenching/pulling and rooftop/ façade works early morning/evening; comply with MOHRE summer midday break.
Protect fiber reels, panels, adhesives, and heat-sensitive components from direct sun; ensure BEP/MDF rooms are ventilated and within ambient limits.
Dust/Sand:
Use dust suppression on cutting/excavation; keep ducts/handholes clean before proving/splicing; protect ODFs and connectors with caps until T&C.
Occasional Rain/Flash Water:
Provide temporary drainage for open trenches/handholes; re-inspect compaction and ducts after rain; seal entries to prevent water ingress.
Traffic & Access:
Prefer off-peak/night works for road crossings; obtain SRTA/Police permits; deploy banksmen, signage, barriers, and lighting.
Coordinate with school/prayer times and neighboring businesses to minimize disruption.
Diploma/Bachelor’s in Telecom/ICT/Electrical/Civil (or equivalent).
7–10+ years UAE/GCC experience with e&/du liaison, OSP/ISP build, and service activation on building projects.
Strong knowledge of provider standards and relevant codes (e.g., TIA-568, TIA-569, TIA-606, TIA-607, ISO/IEC 11801), firestopping, and separation rules.
Competent with CAD mark-ups and MS Office trackers; English required, Arabic an advantage; valid UAE driving license.
