The assignment is expected to run through mid-October, with the potential for permanent placement on future contracts for top performers.

We are seeking experienced, hands-on telecommunications technicians with a strong background in fiber optic testing and troubleshooting. This is not a network administration, systems administration, or software support role.

• Fluke Versiv
• Fluke DTX-1800

Key responsibilities include:

• Perform fiber optic testing and verification on DoD telecommunications infrastructure.
• Conduct OTDR and OLTS testing to verify system performance and compliance.
• Interpret test results and identify deficiencies or failures.
• Document testing results and maintain quality records.
• Support telecom infrastructure surveys and validation activities.
• Ensure work complies with project specifications and industry standards.

We are seeking true telecommunications technicians with proven fiber testing experience. Candidates who primarily identify as system administrators, network engineers, or software technicians and only have exposure to telecom projects without actually performing fiber testing and certification work will not be considered.

Duration & future opportunities include:

• Immediate start
• Project expected to continue through mid-October based on production schedules
• High-performing technicians may be considered for long-term or permanent opportunities supporting additional telecommunications projects nationwide upon completion of the Lackland AFB assignment
