OSP Fiber Splicer

About This Role

Lead field splicing operations for outside-plant (OSP) fiber optic networks, ensuring high-quality installation, testing, documentation, and restoration of fiber infrastructure while adhering to industry standards and safety protocols.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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.
• Execute installation and routing of innerduct, conduit systems (Maxcell, Microduct, etc.), and fiber cable placement.
