Job description

We are seeking a reliable and skilled Structured Cabling Engineer to join our installation team. In this role, you will be responsible for the physical installation, termination, testing, and labeling of low-voltage network infrastructure—including Cat6/6A copper cabling, fiber optics, containment systems, and equipment racks across commercial and industrial project sites.

Key Responsibilities

1. Cabling & Containment Installation

• Lay, pull, and route Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, and multi-core Fiber Optic cables through conduits, cable trays, trunking, and raised floors.

• Install cable support systems, including cable ladders, tray containment, PVC conduits, and J-hooks according to site layout plans.

• Maintain proper cable bending radius and ensure cables are neatly bound, bundled, and strain-relieved.

2. Termination & Patching

• Terminate copper cabling (Cat6/6A) on patch panels, RJ45 keystone jacks, and modular plugs using T568A/T568B standards.

• Perform fiber optic fusion splicing, mechanical splicing, and connectorization (LC, SC, ST) into Fiber Patch Panels (FDB/FOB).

• Dress, organize, and patch network racks, cabinets, and server frames cleanly.

3. Testing & Troubleshooting

• Test and certify copper cabling using Fluke LAN testers/analyzers (DSX series) to verify wiremaps, length, cross-talk, and attenuation.

• Test fiber optic links using Optical Time-Domain Reflectometers (OTDR) and Visual Fault Locators (VFL).

• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve open circuits, shorts, reversed pairs, or high-loss fiber connections.

4. Site Compliance & Documentation

• Apply clear, standardized labels to all cables, faceplates, patch panel ports, and racks according to site labeling schedules.

• Work closely with site supervisors to review floor plans, schematics, and cable running sheets.

• Adhere strictly to site safety rules, risk assessments, and Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) guidelines at all times.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Experience: Minimum 1–3 years of hands-on experience in structured cabling installation, telecommunications, or low-voltage infrastructure.

• Technical Skills:

  • Proficient in Cat6/6A copper termination and Fluke testing procedures.

  • Familiarity with fiber optic fusion splicing and fiber connector assembly is highly preferred.

  • Ability to read and interpret floor plan drawings, cable schematics, and single-line diagrams (SLD).
