We are a true International IT provider and are proud to deliver our services through global simplicity with trusted transparency. WHAT YOU WILL DO: As a Fiber Optical Splicing Technician , you will be responsible for the installation, splicing, testing, troubleshooting, and maintenance of fiber optic cabling infrastructure. This hybrid role combines the practical skills of an Intermediate Technician with the advanced expertise and leadership qualities of an Expert/Lead Technician. You will work within mission-critical environments, ensuring precision, documentation accuracy, and adherence to safety and quality standards. This role requires 90% travel. Must be located near a major airport. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Perform fusion and mechanical splicing of single-mode and multi-mode fibers, including ribbon fiber splicing. Prepare and terminate fiber optic cables using industry-standard methods and tools. 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 SL…
