Overview:
@mecscomms is recruiting for an EAD Circuit Designer / Service Designer to support a major telecoms delivery programme focused on Ethernet Access Direct (EAD), leased line and carrier Ethernet circuit delivery into utility, power sites and substation environments.
The role is specifically focused on sites where telecoms delivery may be affected by electromagnetic interference, EMC requirements, Earth Potential Rise, fibre/copper suitability, cabinet specification, cable entry, ventilation, earthing, and substation access constraints.
This is a highly specialised telecom infrastructure design role, requiring deep experience in BT Openreach EAD delivery, fibre access design, circuit feasibility and design pack production.
The position focuses on ensuring designs are technically feasible, safe, installable and compliant, particularly in complex environments impacted by electromagnetic interference (EMI), Earth Potential Rise (EPR), and utility constraints within utility, substation, power, rail or industrial environments.
You will act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME), working across survey, design and delivery to ensure high-quality, implementation-ready design outputs.
Purpose:
To design, validate and deliver high-quality EAD / Ethernet access circuit solutions, ensuring alignment with BT Openreach processes, utility constraints and real-world installation requirements, while reducing delivery risk and rework.
Technology / Domain Stack:
• EAD (Ethernet Access Direct) / Leased Line / Carrier Ethernet
• FTTP / Fibre Network Design
• BT Openreach Access Network
• Circuit Routing & Feasibility Assessment
• HLD / LLD Design Documentation
• EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
• EPR (Earth Potential Rise)
• Substation / Utility / Power Environments
• Telecom Cabinets (45U EMC Cabinets, ventilation, filters, cable entry)
• Fibre vs Copper Access Design
• CAD / Visio / Network Design Tools

Design and deliver EAD / Ethernet access circuits for complex telecom environments
Assess site feasibility and access constraints based on surveys and technical inputs
Translate requirements into practical design packs for delivery and implementation
Ensure alignment with BT Openreach delivery lifecycle and standards
Identify and mitigate design, installation and delivery risks early
Collaborate with stakeholders across design, engineering, utilities and suppliers
Support delivery teams to resolve design vs field execution issues
Responsibilities:
Design EAD / leased line / carrier Ethernet circuits for telecom delivery
Interpret BT Openreach survey outputs, routing constraints and provisioning requirements
Produce HLD / LLD and implementation-ready design documentation
Assess fibre vs copper suitability based on environmental and technical constraints
Identify risks relating to EMI, EMC and Earth Potential Rise (EPR)
Validate telecom infrastructure including ducting, cabinets, routing and access points
Ensure cabinet designs meet EMC, ventilation and cable entry requirements
Work closely with carriers, operators, utility providers, engineers and suppliers
Translate task sheets and requirements into deliverable design outputs
Support Acceptance Into Live Support (AILS) readiness and handover documentation
Proactively identify delivery blockers, risks and design gaps
Deliverables:
Site-level EAD circuit designs
Feasibility assessments with risks and assumptions
HLD / LLD design packs
Cabinet and infrastructure validation outputs
Bill of Materials (BoM) and implementation mapping
Risk and issue logs
As-built documentation and AILS handover inputs
Working Environment:
Large-scale telecom infrastructure programme
Cross-functional collaboration (engineering, utilities, delivery teams)
High-complexity environments (substations, utilities, industrial sites)
Strong focus on technical accuracy, safety and delivery assurance
Fast-paced, delivery-driven environment with real-world impact
Candidate Profile:
Candidates should possess hands-on experience in EAD / Ethernet access circuit design and delivery. You will combine technical depth, practical delivery understanding and strong documentation capability to ensure successful telecom deployments in complex environments.
Essential:
Proven experience in EAD / Ethernet Access Direct / leased line design
Strong knowledge of BT Openreach delivery lifecycle and processes
Experience producing HLD, LLD and implementation design packs
Ability to interpret site surveys, routing constraints and technical inputs
Strong understanding of fibre access design and circuit routing
Experience working across design to delivery lifecycle
Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills
Desirable:
Experience in substation, utility, rail or industrial telecom environments
Knowledge of EMI / EMC and Earth Potential Rise (EPR)
Understanding of copper vs fibre limitations in high-voltage environments
Experience with telecom cabinet / rack design (EMC cabinets, ventilation, filters)
Awareness of NRSWA, civils and streetworks considerations
CAD / Visio / GIS design tooling experience
Key Traits:
Highly practical and delivery-focused engineer
Strong problem-solving and analytical capability
Ability to challenge assumptions and identify risks early
