The technician collects field data, documents site conditions, and provides clear recommendations to engineering and construction teams to enable efficient, first-pass deployment.

Key Responsibilities

Site Survey & Documentation

• Conduct site visits to assess customer locations for fiber installation readiness
• Identify and document:
• Demarcation point (DMARC), MPOE/MPOP, and Telco room location
• Capture site photos and aerial views with proper orientation
• Complete standardized survey templates and reports

Power & Grounding Verification

• Confirm availability of:
• Dedicated 120VAC power (15–30 Amp circuit)
• Grounded outlet within 6 feet of equipment location
• Verify:
• Proper circuit labeling and isolation
• Grounding system meets telecom standards (≤25 ohms, #6 AWG copper)

Equipment Space & Environment

• Document any interior conduit path from entry to DEMARC if it exists betw between floors or across interior ceilings
• Identify:
• Existing conduit vs. new requirements
• Clear routing path with pull capability
• Coordinate with building management for access and approvals
• Verify conduit size and take a picture to illustrate the potential of placing another cable (fiber) in the conduit

OSP Interface & Access

• Identify external infrastructure:
• Handholes, manholes, pedestals, and fiber entry points
• Assess feasibility of fiber routing from right-of-way to building
• Note permitting or construction constraints

Reporting & Recommendations

• Deliver clear, accurate survey reports including:
• Site conditions and deficiencies
• Required customer actions vs. provider scope
• Provide constructability insights to reduce delays and rework

Qualifications Required

• 2+ years telecom, OSP/ISP, or field inspection experience
