• Conduct permitting and easement research (pole ownership, ROW, property rights, approvals)

• Collaborate with team members to resolve design challenges and ensure accurate deliverables

• Use design software such as AutoCAD, MicroStation, DDS, PoleForeman, O-Calc, Katapult, or client systems

• Perform quality control reviews when required

• Support additional duties as assigned
