Professional Engineer (PE) – Fiber Network Design (Contract, Remote – Utah License Required)

About Senawave

Senawave Communications is a Utah-based telecom and internet service provider building out fiber infrastructure across northern Utah, including BEAD-funded routes. We design and construct buried fiber networks through municipal right-of-way, UDOT corridors, and private easements.

The role

We’re looking for a licensed Professional Engineer to serve as Engineer of Record for our fiber route designs. You’ll provide engineering direction and review over plan sets prepared by our in-house design team, then seal the drawings submitted for municipal, county, and UDOT permitting.

This is ongoing contract work on a per-project basis. Volume is steady and scales with our construction schedule. Work is fully remote; occasional site familiarization is welcome but not required.

What you’ll do

• Serve as Engineer of Record on buried fiber route designs (trenching, directional boring, plowed installations, road and utility crossings)
• Provide engineering direction to our in-house designers and review plan sets in sufficient detail to exercise responsible charge under Utah Admin Code R156-22
• Review depth-of-cover, separation, and crossing details against applicable standards and utility requirements
• Seal and sign plan sets for submission to municipalities, counties, and UDOT
• Respond to permitting agency comments and redline cycles
• Advise on design standards and constructability as routes are developed

Required qualifications

• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in the State of Utah, in good standing — any discipline
• Ability to serve as Engineer of Record and exercise responsible charge over work prepared by others
• Experience reviewing and sealing civil site, utility, or underground infrastructure plan sets
• Familiarity with plan review and permitting processes for work in public right-of-way
• Ability to read and mark up drawings produced in ArcGIS Pro / CAD and returned as PDF
• Professional liability (E&O) insurance, or willingness to obtain it

Preferred qualifications

• Prior Engineer of Record experience on telecom or fiber outside plant projects
• Experience with UDOT encroachment permitting and Utah municipal ROW permitting
• NCEES record or comity licensure in neighboring states
• Familiarity with BEAD or other federally funded broadband program requirements
• Working knowledge of Blue Stakes / 811 utility coordination and existing-utility conflict resolution

Details

• Contract / 1099 engagement, per-project or hourly
• Fully remote
• Flexible scheduling; turnaround expectations set per plan set
• Consistent, recurring work as our buildout continues

Submit your resume along with your Utah PE license number and a short note describing fiber, utility, or underground infrastructure projects you’ve sealed.
