About This Role
This mid-level role joins a structured cabling team, building on copper foundation skills with full proficiency in fiber optic installation, termination, and testing. The technician is expected to work independently across both media types, guide junior personnel, and take ownership of moderately complex scopes from plan to acceptance. This is an onsite role 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)
