Sr. Project Manager

Requisition Number: 62812

 

Corning is vital to progress – in the industries we help shape and in the world we share.

 

We invent life-changing technologies using materials science. Our scientific and manufacturing expertise, boundless curiosity, and commitment to purposeful invention place us at the center of the way the world interacts, works, learns, and lives.

 

Our sustained investment in research, development, and invention means we’re always ready to solve the toughest challenges alongside our customers. 

Our Optical Communications segment has recently evolved from being a manufacturer of optical fiber and cable, hardware and equipment to being a comprehensive provider of industry-leading optical solutions across the broader communications industry.This segment is classified into two main product groupings – carrier network and enterprise network. The carrier network product group consists primarily of products and solutions for optical-based communications infrastructure for services such as video, data and voice communications. The enterprise network product group consists primarily of optical-based communication networks sold to businesses, governments and individuals for their own use.

 

Purpose of Position:

The primary role of the position is to support outside plant fiber optic network design through the means of permitting aerial and underground and path creation. The candidate will work with engineering resources both internal and external to develop best practices and design standards taking into consideration path and permitting considerations to create a more efficient design. This individual will also be expected to work with different customers integrating with customer systems and design processes.

 

Scope of Position:

• Works with both internal and external stakeholders to gain consensus on design standards and would be responsible for documenting them into formal processes and procedures.
• Have the ability to contact multiple authorities whether it be local, state, or federal and gain permitting requirements for, but not limited to DOT, DEP, PUC, Railroad as well as various Pole owner attachment applications.
• Encompasses the use of integrated systems for computer-aided design used for the systematic representation and dimensional specification of mechanical and architectural structures.
• Reviews drawings or schematics for outside plant systems, is able to track make-ready and permitting requirements as it affects the overall build plan in a FTTX deployment.
• Individual will have an understand outside plant equipment and structures and makes determinations on how to solve specific problems that arise to coincide with standard or best design practices.
• Utilizes CAD digitizing techniques and skills. Gives design feedback to both internal and external engineers and works to streamline design processes with changing permit requirements from municipality to municipality.
• Makes engineering computations and prepares and revises specifications.
• Requires understanding and application of standard engineering or scientific theories, concepts, principles, and techniques.
• Requires the ability to develop and resolve solutions to routine technical problems.
• Able to work on projects closely monitored and technical assignments are given without detailed instructions.
• Contacts are primarily with immediate project team or leaders, or other professionals in a similar group but can be routinely working as part of a larger project with direct contacts to customers.

 

Major Role and Responsibilities:

• Work with internal system engineers and outsource engineering vendors on complex outside plant design scenarios and formulate best plans of action for service.
• Review complex CAD designs utilizing numerous layers and blocks and incorporate custom layouts as needed or required by the customer.
• Work with Systems engineers in team environment to ensure designs are complete in a given build schedule with respect to influences of prioritizing make ready and permitting completion timelines affect build schedules.
• Research permitting requirements in applicable regions in-order to set design standards for projects in multiple regions. (Local, State, Federal).
• Review permit drawings for City, County, DOT, and MOT permits.
• Determine where to gather necessary utility information and give feedback to drafting technicians.
• Understand how to create underground bore profile drawings and/or aerial pole data tables.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks at a time and create methods to organize tasks into a project flow to be reported out on as needed.
• Participate in scope review with customer and/or vendors to ensure design requirements and o
