Cover letter sampleI am writing to express my interest in the Network Planning Technical Project Manager position at Nebius. With over 6 years of experience in telecommunications and data center connectivity, I have a proven track record of managing complex OSP projects from inception to delivery.

My expertise includes fiber optic network design, AutoCAD-based infrastructure planning, and geospatial data management using GIS tools. I have successfully led cross-functional teams and negotiated IRU agreements with major carriers, ensuring cost-effective and reliable connectivity solutions.

I am particularly excited about Nebius's focus on AI cloud infrastructure and the opportunity to contribute to building a global network that supports the next generation of AI workloads.

I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my skills can add value to your team.

Copy   Sample interview questionsDescribe your experience with OSP design and the tools you have used for fiber pathway architecture.I have over 5 years of experience in OSP design, including conduit and manhole placement, fiber routing, and site entry points. I am proficient in AutoCAD for creating and reviewing site infrastructure plans, and I use GIS tools like QGIS and Google Earth for geospatial analysis and route diversity planning.

How do you approach negotiating IRU agreements with fiber owners? Can you provide an example?

When negotiating IRUs, I focus on long-term cost optimization, flexibility, and technical compatibility. For instance, I led a negotiation for a 20-year dark fiber lease that resulted in a 15% cost reduction by bundling multiple routes and securing favorable renewal terms.

Explain a complex project where you had to coordinate multiple internal and external stakeholders. What was your strategy?

I managed a cross-border fiber build involving internal construction teams, external ISPs, and utility providers. My strategy was to establish a clear RACI matrix, hold weekly syncs, and use a shared project management tool to track dependencies. This ensured alignment and on-time delivery despite regulatory delays.

What geospatial data management techniques do you use to maintain fiber route documentation?

I maintain KMZ/KML files for all routes, with attributes like fiber count, splice points, and ownership. I use version control and regular audits to ensure accuracy, and integrate GIS data with our internal database for real-time visibility.

How do you assess connectivity feasibility for a new data center site?

I evaluate existing fiber infrastructure within a 5-mile radius, identify carrier presence, and assess conduit availability. I also analyze cost and lead time for new builds using dark fiber or leased capacity, and present a risk assessment to the site selection team.
