  • Install and manage fiber in various environments including ODFs, splice trays, enclosures, and patch panels.
  • Conduct cable preparation including stripping, cleaving, cleaning, and protection of fibers.
  • Label and route fiber in compliance with documentation and design standards.
  • Use advanced test equipment (OTDR, OLTS, power meters, visual fault locators) to certify and troubleshoot fiber links.
  • Perform end-to-end testing including insertion loss, return loss, and reflectance measurements.
  • Analyze OTDR traces to identify faults, splices, and connector losses.
  • Produce detailed test results, reports, and documentation for client acceptance and compliance verification.
  • Diagnose and repair faults in fiber optic networks, including complex and escalated issues.
  • Perform root cause analysis and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
  • Respond to service outages and perform emergency repairs with minimal disruption to live traffic.
  • Execute high-count and ribbon fiber splicing projects, including mass fusion splicing.
  • Manage fiber assignments, routing, and labeling in large-scale installations.
  • Support fiber network expansion, migration, and reconfiguration projects with minimal service interruption.
  • Maintain detailed records of splicing, testing, and repair activities.
  • Ensure all work complies with industry standards (e.g. ITU-T, FOA, BICSI, TIA / EIA, NEC), safety regulations, and company policies.
  • Participate in quality audits and ensure compliance with both company and client operational standards.
  • Support as-built documentation, change control, and test result archiving.

ESSENTIAL CRITERIA :

  • Minimum 3–5 years' hands-on experience in fiber optic splicing, testing, and installation (Tier 2 or Tier 3 level).
  • Deep understanding of optical fiber theory, attenuation, dispersion, and signal integrity.
  • Proficiency with high-precision fusion splicers (e.g., Fujikura, Sumitomo, or INNO).
  • Skilled in interpreting fiber network design drawings, splice schematics, and optical budgets.
  • Experience working with both inside plant (ISP) and outside plant (OSP) environments.
  • Advanced use of OTDRs, light source / power meters, visual inspection scopes, and fiber identifiers.
  • Ability to interpret and troubleshoot complex OTDR traces and reflectometry data.
  • Knowledge of fiber characterization testing, DWDM / CWDM network considerations, and loss budgets.
  • Comfortable working within data center environments, including hot / cold aisles and structured cabling systems.
  • Understanding of cable management best practices, rack layouts, and physical infrastructure documentation.
  • Experience working in live network environments with strict uptime SLAs.
  • In-depth knowledge of safety standards for fiber optic work, including laser safety and confined space awareness.
  • Familiarity with environmental and electrical regulations (OSHA, NEC, and local standards).
  • Consistent track record of adhering to quality assurance processes and precision workmanship.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate with engineers, project managers, and clients.
  • Demonstrated leadership in mentoring junior technicians or overseeing small project teams.
  • Excellent time management, prioritization, and multitasking abilities under tight deadlines.
  • Analytical mindset with strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.
  • Proactive and self-motivated, with the ability to work independently in remote or field conditions.
  • Proficiency with digital documentation tools, fiber management software, and reporting systems.
  • Competent with Microsoft Office Suite, Google Workspace, or equivalent documentation platforms.
  • Familiarity with network monitoring tools and basic Layer 1–2 network concepts.
  • DESIRABLE CRITERIA :

  • FOA CFOT, CFOS / T, or BICSI certifications (or equivalent regional qualification).
  • Manufacturer training / certification (e.g., Corning, CommScope, or AFL).
  • Experience in hyperscale or enterprise data center environments.
  • Project leadership or supervisory experience within a technical team.
  • Valid driver's license and flexibility to travel or work in various locations across the region.
  • EOS BENEFITS :
