ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

Installation and Termination:

• Perform single fiber fusion splicing on inside plant fiber optic cables ranging from 2 to 96 strands, including fiber stripping, cleaving, and splice protection sleeve installation using AFL-Fujikura and Corning Swift single strand fusion splicers.
• Terminate fiber optic connectors directly to cable strands using fusion splicing as the primary method, with working knowledge of mechanical and anaerobic splicing techniques for emergency or situational applications.
• Install and organize fiber splice enclosures when joining two cables together, managing splice tray layout, fiber routing, bend radius compliance, and labeling per manufacturer recommendations.
• Terminate fiber assemblies to patch panels with proper routing and bend radius management, verifying end face quality via inspection microscopy prior to connector mating.

Testing and Troubleshooting:

• Test and certify completed fiber links using Fluke loss testers and Fluke OTDR testers, verifying splice loss values and total link insertion loss against project specifications.
• Interpret OTDR traces to diagnose and resolve fiber faults including high-loss splices, damaged connectors, and cable breaks, pinpointing fault locations along the fiber span.
• Maintain complete project documentation including splice loss records, OTDR traces, as-built cable records, and corrective action logs for datacenter, healthcare, education, and commercial facility installations.

Minimum Requirements

• Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience performing single fiber fusion splicing on inside plant fiber optic cables in datacenter, healthcare, education, or commercial environments.
• Experience with fiber stripping, cleaving, end face inspection, and connector termination via fusion splicing, with working knowledge of mechanical and anaerobic splicing methods.
• Hands-on experience operating AFL-Fujikura and/or Corning Swift single strand fusion splicers.
• Proficiency in fiber optic testing and certification using Fluke loss testers and Fluke OTDR testers, with the ability to interpret results, identify faults, and document findings against project specifications.
• Working knowledge of fiber splice enclosure installation and organization per manufacturer recommendations.
• Familiarity with industry standards and safety protocols.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

Preferred Experience

• Industry certification from FOA, ETA International, or BICSI in fiber optic installation and/or splicing (CFOT, CFOS/S, FOI, or Installer 2 Optical Fiber).
• Manufacturer-specific training or certification on AFL-Fujikura or Corning Swift fusion splicing equipment.
• BICSI Technician or Installer certification.
• CPR and First Aid certification.

Physical Requirements

• Must be able to work on ladders and use power tools; ability to lift/carry/setup a 50-pound box or ladder.

• Must own low…
