Field Inspector – Fiber Construction (FTTH)

Help build the future of connectivity.

At Omni Fiber, we're building more than blazing-fast internet-we're connecting communities with reliable, future-proof fiber technology. As a 100% fiber internet provider, we deliver unmatched speed, reliability, and local service while rapidly expanding across the Midwest.

We're looking for a hands-on, detail-driven Field Inspector to support the deployment of our Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) network in the Saginaw region. If you enjoy being in the field, ensuring quality work, and collaborating with construction teams, this is a great opportunity to make a direct impact.

What You'll Do

As a Field Inspector, you'll play a key role in ensuring our network is built right-the first time.

  • Conduct daily field inspections of fiber construction, including underground, aerial, and residential installations
  • Verify proper placement of fiber, conduit, handholes, pedestals, and pole attachments
  • Ensure all work meets Omni Fiber quality standards, safety requirements, and design specifications
  • Inspect restoration work (landscaping, pavement, right-of-way areas) to ensure it meets local and company expectations
  • Monitor contractor performance and validate production quantities
  • Identify and document construction issues, safety concerns, and deviations from plans-and escalate when needed
  • Maintain accurate field notes, redlines, staking sheets, permits, and right-of-way documentation
  • Review construction against engineering designs and provide feedback on field adjustments
  • Perform quality audits and follow-up inspections to confirm corrective actions
  • Partner with contractors, project managers, and internal teams to communicate progress, risks, and updates
  • Utilize mobile tools and reporting systems to document inspections and submit reports in a timely manner
  • Support special projects, emergency restorations, and other field operations as needed

  • Familiarity with FTTH and Outside Plant (OSP) construction

  • Clear and professional communication
  • Problem-solving mindset
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Team-oriented approach
  • Commitment to safety and quality
  • Ownership and accountability in the field

Work Environment
