About This Role
This mid-level Cable Technician II role focuses on structured cabling, building on copper foundation skills with full proficiency in fiber optic installation, termination, and testing. The role suits a candidate who can work independently across both media types, guide junior personnel, and manage moderately complex projects from planning to acceptance. This is an onsite position in a cleanroom semiconductor manufacturing environment.
Responsibilities
- Lead the installation, adjustment, and change of copper and fiber layer-one network connections for technical systems
- Install, terminate, test, and troubleshoot Category 5e/6/6a copper cabling and single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic cabling for data infrastructure in a large enterprise environment
- Terminate fiber across a range of interfaces and form factors (LC, SC, ST, APC) using both field-termination and pre-terminated methods; perform fusion and mechanical splicing as required
- Test and certify fiber using industry-standard equipment (OTDR, OLTS, fiber inspection scopes) and interpret results to acceptance criteria
- Properly comb, dress, and label copper and fiber cables in accordance with site and industry standards; enforce bend-radius and pull-tension discipline
- Implement structured pathways per approved designs; identify physical constraints and propose field-practical corrections to the senior technician
- Interpret floor plan designs and as-builts; redline field deviations and submit for incorporation into final documentation
- Provide day-to-day direction and on-the-job training to Tech I personnel on copper and basic fiber work
- Work from a request / ticket system, owning assigned scopes end-to-end including pre-job material checks, execution, and closeout documentation
- Author and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for install, test, and acceptance workflows
- Support the network team on hardware replacements, rack / de-rack activity, hotfix participation to resolve connectivity issues and scheduled change points
- Support 24x7 data center and fab operation per on-call scheduling
- Follow all on-site security protocols, Standard Operating Procedures, and company policies
Requirements
- High school diploma or equivalent
- 3+ years of experience in the structured cabling industry, including hands-on copper and fiber work
- 2+ years of experience in a construction environment with working knowledge of standard safety practices
- Demonstrated cabling experience with knowledge of low-voltage specifications, standards, and safety practices
- Proficient with copper termination (Cat 5e/6/6a) and cable certification using industry-standard testers (Fluke DSX or equivalent)
- Proficient with fiber termination across multiple interfaces (LC, SC, APC, MPO/MTP) and with fiber testing (OTDR, OLTS, inspection scopes)
