As a Telecom Design Engineer, you’ll be in charge of setting and managing design standards for all types of telecom sites—on rooftops, towers, poles, and more. Your main job is to ensure these sites are designed safely, efficiently, and according to legal and engineering standards. You will:

• Define all technical site requirements, from foundations to antennasupports.
• Work with architects, structural engineers, site teams, and design specialists to deliver cost-effective and safe telecom site designs.
• Review sketches, drawings, calculations, and test plans.
• Be the escalation point to customers regarding site design issues.

A key part of your role is to assess how telecom equipment affects the strength and stability of existing or new masts, towers, rooftops, or buildings. You will also train subcontractors and staff on proper design standards, perform quality checks on their work, and make decisions when there are technical disagreements or unclear information.   RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Train and guide design subcontractors, tenants, and site engineers.
• Work closely with people, present your ideas clearly, and assess others' ideas fairly.
• Have strong knowledge of telecom site design and manage relateddocumentation.
• Lead the design process using your technical, time management, andcommercial awareness.
• Advise all stakeholders on technical design requirements and standards.
• Motivate teams to deliver high-quality, cost-effective designs.
• Make sure all designs follow current regulations and standards.
• Deliver design work on time and at the right quality.
• Identify and reduce health, safety, and financial risks early in the designphase.
• Perform quality control checks on:
  • Supplier plans (antenna and frame layouts)
  • Load and deformation analysis of existing structures
  • Wind/snow load calculations (based on height and location)
  • Stability checks per Eurocode and Belgian standards
  • Provide technical support to project managers, tenants, and site managers.
  • Follow up on inspection results, structural re-checks, and recalculations.
  • Give expert advice when there’s damage, repair needs, or complaints aboutstructural integrity.

  REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS:

• Engineering diploma or relevant degree.
• Experience with structural calculations and tower reinforcements (ideally in telecom or steel construction).
• Strong knowledge of Eurocodes (EN 1990, 1991-1-4, 1993) and NBN standards.
• Can read and interpret technical drawings and use AutoCAD or Revit.
• Understands structural connections (bolts, anchors, etc.) and how loads are distributed.
• Accurate, analytical, and solutions-focused.
• Strong communicator, capable of writing technical notes independently.

  NICE TO HAVE:

• Experience with telecom operators like Proximus, Telenet, Orange, or tower companies.
• Experience working at height or in tight urban sites.
• Familiarity with site monitoring or supervising construction.
• Knowledge of urban development permits or related processes.
