About the Role

Are you a hands‑on technician who enjoys working in the field rather than behind a desk? We are seeking a high‑energy Field Telecom Technician for a technical, physical role focused on fiber optic and transport network infrastructure. This is not an IT/Software position; it is a "boots‑on‑the‑ground" role for someone who loves to build and troubleshoot physical network systems.

• Work Authorization: Must be a U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder (W-2 only; No C2C/3rd Party).
• Licensing: Must possess a valid Driver’s License and a reliable personal vehicle.
• Compliance: Must be able to pass a comprehensive Drug Test and Background Check.
• Tools: Must possess a basic set of manual hand tools.

What You Will Do (Key Responsibilities)

• Network Installation: Install, provision, and decommission network equipment including Fiber Optic transport, Ethernet, SONET, and IP layers.
• Hardware Testing: Use advanced field instruments—Viavi ONA800 and EXFO FIP500—to test services from DS0 to OC192.
• Infrastructure Maintenance: Perform PMs on critical facility gear: DC Power Plants, high‑voltage electrical, and HVAC systems.
• Field Troubleshooting: Identify/replace defective modules, assist in fiber route locating/marking, and support emergency network restoration.
• Inventory & Logistics: Manage on‑site assets, process deliveries, and coordinate shipping/receiving.
• Reporting: Update trouble tickets and provide real‑time logs on network status.

Required Skills & Physical Qualifications

• Technical Aptitude: Proficient with hand/power tools and computerized testing equipment.
• Fiber Foundations: Basic knowledge of fiber optic cabling and network transmission standards.
• Physical Labor: Ability to work in Central Offices and outdoor environments; must be comfortable performing physical labor under pressure.
• Soft Skills: Strong time management, problem‑solving, and a "customer‑obsessed" mindset.

Why Apply?

• Consistent 40‑hour work week with a stable 7‑4 or 8‑5 schedule.
• Opportunity to work with high‑end, carrier‑grade technology (Lumen‑level infrastructure).
• Clear path for potential permanent hire based on performance.
