As a turnkey telecommunications contractor, VTC provides field surveying, design & engineering, construction and maintenance services. We are an approved vendor for many of the major industry providers of CATV, ODAS/Small Cell and IDAS/Venue. VTC Design Group’s primary objectives are to successfully research, bid, engineer, and permit fiber optic cable placement projects throughout the US. Our fundamental tools are AutoCAD, GoogleEarth Pro, Adobe Professional, ArcGIS, Bentley Map and Microsoft Suite.

• Build and maintain GIS solutions to capture design data (cable routes, splice points, pole assets)
• Implement mobile/online data-collection tools (Survey123, Collector) and ingest field edits into AGOL
• Assist with construction-progress tracking—integrating as-built updates, inspection status, and work-order data into GIS (vs. owning PM)
• Develop and maintain ArcGIS Online Notebooks for automation, data analysis, and reporting
• Develop Python scripts (ArcGIS API for Python & ArcPy) to push/pull GIS layers into platforms like Site Tracker and Smartsheet via their REST APIs
• Design resilient data pipelines: batch sync nightly updates and webhooks for near-real-time changes
• Automate status dashboards showing “planned vs. completed” network segments and generate on-demand maps/reports
• Leverage ArcGIS Utility Network capabilities—build/maintain network topologies, relationship tables, and domain networks
• Ensure hosted feature layers reflect the latest field inputs, with automated geometry and attribute checks
• Other duties as assigned 

  QUALIFICATIONS:

• ArcGIS Online: Configuring and publishing hosted feature layers
• Python Scripting: Proficiency with ArcGIS API for Python & ArcPy
• API Integration: REST API integration (OAuth5, tokens) with platforms like Site Tracker and Smartsheet
• ArcGIS Online Notebooks: Automating workflows, batch processing, and custom analyses
