About The Position

We are looking for a detail-oriented Fiber Splicer to join our field team. In this role, you'll serve as the technical lead on-site, responsible for the precision splicing, testing, and activation of our fiber network. This is a great fit for someone who enjoys working independently, takes pride in high-quality craftsmanship, and thrives in an environment where safety and production standards are top priorities.

Requirements

Proven experience with fusion splicing, fiber ribbon stripping, and fiber architecture.
Comfortable using Google Earth for site navigation and mapping, EXFO/OTDR software for testing, and Excel or Google Sheets for data tracking and production reporting.
Ability to read and interpret complex splice matrices and technical PDFs.
Ability to handle the physical demands of fieldwork (aerial and underground), with a willingness to work flexible hours and overtime.
Valid driver's license
Ability to pass a background check and drug screening.
Authorization to work in the United States

Responsibilities

Perform end-to-end splicing on aerial and underground fiber optic cables. You'll handle everything from pulling fiber through conduits to securing cables in commercial and new-build environments.
Use OTDRs, power meters, and light-level testing to verify signal performance. You'll be the go-to resource for diagnosing splice loss, attenuation, and general network issues.
Interpret engineered blueprints and splice diagrams to guide your work. You'll be responsible for creating accurate as-built documentation and marking up maps to reflect real-world installations.
Self-supervise job sites to ensure all safety protocols are followed. You'll manage daily production reports, track material reconciliation, and maintain an organized inventory of tools and hardware.
Act as the face of the company when communicating with property owners or residents, ensuring all questions are handled professionally.
