From the crow's nest mounted halfway up the forward mast. These old-fashioned look-out positions were still in use even in the Titanic's day- it was accessed by ladder and equipped with a telephone connected to the bridge, which Fleet used to alert the night crew once he spotted the iceberg.
The crow's nest is still there on the wreck, but was damaged in 1987 during a sloppy attempt to salvage the forward mast's running-light by a French submersible that was raiding the wreck for souvenirs.

What did the lookout say when he saw the iceberg?
"Iceberg right ahead" (Frederick Fleet), but it was too late to avoid a collision. The lookouts did not have any binoculars, and there was no searchlight to light the way in front of the ship, there was no moon to give off reflective light, and the sea was flat calm meaning that no waves washed up against the sides of the iceberg.
What was Frederick Fleet's job on board the Titanic?
Frederick Fleet was on lookout duty the night the Titanic sank. He saw a foggy figure out ahead of the vessel and rang three bells (the alarm). He called up the bridge (place where the ship is steered from) and said "ICEBERG, RIGHT AHEAD!" He was 24 at the time and survived the sinking by getting on Lifeboat #6.

what ocean did the titanic hit an iceberg?
The SOS message sent out gave Titanics coordinates as 41-56 degrees North and 50-14 degrees West. It sunk 350miles/531kilometres southeast of Newfoundland Canada and it wouldn't have travelled far from hitting the iceberg. I'd say a couple of miles at most.
