Due to the end user’s network requirements, wireless telecommunications projects may be installed on various types of vertical infrastructure. Because of frequently changing network needs, wireless telecommunications projects also often require specialized design and engineering skillsets that can differ significantly from traditional commercial building construction projects.

This paper provides an introduction and overview of the Coordinating Engineer Framework for successful and straightforward design and jurisdictional review of proposed wireless telecommunications project scopes. This framework can best used as an industry best practice in project management to uphold and reinforce the ethical practice of engineering in support of the telecommunications industry. This approach facilitates and streamlines the design and permitting process proactively mitigating potential delays in the deployment of essential and critical telecommunications networks.
