OSP Design & Planning Work

I started my telecom journey as an OSP Design Engineer, where I handled field surveys and fiber optic planning for major telecom providers in the Philippines like DITO, Globe, and PLDT. I was actively involved in designing and planning FTTH, FTTB, and FBTS networks—including Roofsite and Greenfield projects, both underground and aerial.
Using tools like AutoCAD, Google Earth, and Maps.Me, I conducted OSP, CEF site surveys for access backbone, backhaul, and Joint-Staking for OLT, ODF, NAP and POI locations. We also used GPSI, a survey tool that allowed us to collect data points with photos and export them as KMZ/KML, CSV, or XLSX files for design reference.
I created both As-Plan and As-Built drawings using site-collected data and geo-mapped them in AutoCAD, including high-level (HLD) and low-level (LLD) designs. These included:
-
HLD: Feeder routes, homing points (OLT), NAP placement, and barangay boundaries.
-
LLD: Fiber Termination and Distribution Plans, Optical Splicing Details Plan, Vicinity & Geo Maps, and Single Line Diagrams.
I also handled BOM and BOQ creation—accurately calculating material needs like fiber lengths, poles, closures, and more.
I also handled Acceptance Documents creation and checking such as OPM Reading, OTDR Results, NAP Serving, NAP List, Grounding, Resource Entry and more.
Eventually, I was promoted to Design Supervisor, where I trained junior engineers, monitored deliverables, and maintained quality standards across 500+ project sites. I also briefly served as a Project Supervisor, conducting OTDR testing, field troubleshooting, and ensuring final client acceptance.
This hands-on experience sharpened my technical design skills, data accuracy, and leadership—especially in managing large-scale documentation and remote collaboration.
