Job summary

LINX is hiring Fiber Specialists for its travel-based team that deploys to enterprise, hyperscale, and hyperscale data center builds across the country.

• Ability to perform OTDR/OLTS tests and validate against criteria without supervision.
• Ability to build and dress splice enclosures, FDFs, LIUs, and MPO panels.
• Read and interpret fiber drawings and rack elevations.
• Willingness to travel nationally on a continuous basis.
• Valid driver’s license and current auto insurance.
• Work independently at customer sites with minimal supervision.

Responsibilities

• Independently perform ribbon and loose tube fusion splicing, including butt splices and restoration work.
• Build and dress splice enclosures and Fiber Distribution Frames (FDFs).
• Install Line Interface Units (LIUs) and MPO panels.
• Perform mid-span entries and ring cuts.
• Maintain proper fiber routing, slack storage, and cable management to spec.
• Perform OTDR, OLTS, optical power meter, and VFL testing.
• Diagnose and resolve splice loss issues and routing problems at root cause level.
• Produce accurate splice records and complete fiber test packages.
• Update red lines and as-built documentation.
