  • Ensure all work complies with project specifications, safety standards, and industry best practices.

  • Maintain accurate records, including fiber documentation, splicing logs, and test results.

  • Collaborate with project managers and other stakeholders to meet deadlines and resolve field issues.

  • Support emergency response and ongoing network maintenance activities as needed.

Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience in fiber optic installation, splicing, and testing.

  • Proven leadership experience in the field, including managing crews and mentoring technicians.

  • Strong knowledge of fiber network design, construction, and troubleshooting.

  • Proficiency with fiber testing equipment (OTDR, power meter, light source, etc.).

  • Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (e.g. BICSI, TIA/EIA).

  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

  • Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel to job sites as needed.

  • Industry & Safety certifications (OSHA, CPR/First Aid, FOA, ETA, BICSI) are a plus.

    What We Offer

    Competitive compensation and benefits

    Opportunities for career growth and leadership development

    A culture that values ownership, technical excellence, and field leadership
