Description It is the responsibility of the OSP Engineer to oversee and maintain existing and ongoing projects. As these projects progress, the professional needs to identify OSP engineering problems and come up with innovative solutions to address them. The OSP Engineer should then apply a specific engineering discipline to plan, design, and implement telecommunications systems, networks, and plant facilities. These plans help define the implementation of future plant construction or modification of existing facilities. In this process, the professional needs to play an active role when it comes to creating a budget for implementing updated services, technologies, and industry requirements.
