Job Description & How to Apply Below
The Cable Tech Supervisor will lead a team of 4 techs for commercial customers. They will be responsible for leading layered cabling, field splicing operations for outside‑plant (OSP) fiber optic networks, ensuring high‑quality installation, testing, documentation, and restoration of fiber infrastructure. This role requires advanced technical splicing expertise, strong leadership skills, and the ability to oversee crews performing aerial, underground, and in‑building fiber work.
The Cable Tech Supervisors ensures that all work adheres to industry standards, safety protocols, and project specifications while maintaining efficient workflows and supporting project delivery.
Key Responsibilities Fiber Splicing & Technical Execution Perform single‑mode and ribbon fusion splicing, including butt and lateral splicing, mid‑span cuts, ring cuts, and live‑fiber work. Troubleshoot fiber optic networks using OTDR, power meters, light sources, and visual fault locators. Install and maintain splice enclosures, cabinets, bulkheads, and distribution panels in both OSP and ISP environments. Read and interpret splice matrices, fiber schematics, construction prints, and cable schedules.
Project Leadership & Crew Oversight Lead, mentor, and supervise a crew of 4 technicians, ensuring safe and productive work habits. Coordinate daily job tasks, workflow sequencing, and resource allocation with project managers and field leadership. Ensure all work meets quality, production, documentation, and safety standards. Provide performance oversight, training, and technical guidance to less experienced technicians. Installation, Testing & Field Operations Execute installation and routing of innerduct, conduit systems (Maxcell, Microduct, etc.),
and fiber cable placement in aerial, underground, and data‑center environments. Maintain organized work vehicles, jobsite cleanliness, inventory of tools, consumables, and test equipment. Conduct fiber acceptance testing, loss‑budget verification, and documentation of test results. Support outage restorations, emergency repairs, and on‑call rotations as required. Documentation & Reporting Maintain accurate cabling, splicing records, redlines, as‑builts, and jobsite documentation. Provide daily updates, progress reports, and issue escalation to project stakeholders.
Required Qualifications 3-5+ years of professional fiber splicing experience; high‑count fiber and ribbon splicing strongly preferred. Strong technical knowledge of OSP fiber networks, construction practices, and safety protocols. Proficiency with fusion splicers, ribbon splitters, OTDRs, power meters, and related tools. Ability to read and interpret network diagrams, blueprints, and engineering documentation. Valid driver's license; ability to work outdoors, at heights, in confined spaces, and in all weather conditions.
Work Environment Field‑based role requiring travel, outdoor work, and variable weather exposure. Work will occur for commercial and oil industries
