• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on existing cabling systems.
• Use test and measurement tools (OTDR, power meter, Fluke testers) and document results for acceptance, handover, and audits.
• Conduct site surveys and prepare accurate reports, BOQs, and material lists for new installations, upgrades, and maintenance.
• Manage and reconcile inventory of passive network components to ensure timely availability for planned works.
• Design and implement structured cabling overlays for events, maintaining clear separation between base-build and overlay networks.
• Coordinate with active network teams for rack layout, patching plans, labeling schemes, and IDF/MDF readiness.
• Maintain and update network drawings (AutoCAD/Visio) and patching matrices reflecting as‑built environments.
• Perform patching, dressing, and rack mounting of active devices, maintain patch‑cord hygiene, and provide L1 remote support under guidance of Network Engineers.
• Ensure compliance with HSE/permit‑to‑work requirements and maintain a clean and safe working environment.

• Prepare technical documentation including site surveys, test reports, as‑built drawings, patching matrices, and handover packs.
• Document incidents, root causes, and corrective actions to support continuous improvement.
• Communicate technical issues and work status to internal teams and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Provide accurate material estimates, cable run details, and resource requirements for planning, budgeting, and procurement.
• Maintain up‑to‑date records in ticketing/work‑order systems.

• Lead diagnosis and resolution of complex passive network issues such as cable faults, patching errors, fiber breaks, and performance degradation.
• Analyze recurring faults, identify root causes, and recommend practical long‑term corrective actions.
• Suggest and help implement improved tools, labeling standards, testing procedures, and documentation practices.
• Provide on‑site technical leadership during high‑impact incidents or major events, coordinating with Network Engineers, vendors, and operations teams.
• Proactively identify potential risks and propose improvements to enhance network stability and maintainability.

• 7–10 years of IT infrastructure/network support experience, with strong exposure to structured cabling, campus LAN, and data center environments.
• 3–5 years in a Senior Network Technician or equivalent role managing field teams, subcontractors, and multiple work orders.
• GCC / Gulf region experience preferred, ideally in large venues such as stadiums, airports, hospitals, campuses, or hospitality environments.
• Proven track record delivering projects under strict SLAs, event timelines, and HSE/permit‑to‑work regimes.

• Diploma in Computer Science, Electronics & Communication, Electrical, Telecommunications, or related discipline (mandatory).
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering/Technology preferred but not mandatory.
• Networking certifications such as CCNA, HCIA, CompTIA Network+, or equivalent highly desirable.
• Structured cabling certifications (e.g., BICSI Installer/Technician, manufacturer certifications like Comm Scope, Nexans, Leviton, or FOA CFOT) are a strong plus.

• Expertise in passive cabling technologies including UTP, STP, fiber optic cabling, patch panels, LIUs, and structured LAN cabling systems.
• Ability to design, interpret, and review cabling layouts, rack elevations, and event overlay cabling plans.
• Proficient in cable testing and certification tools (Fluke DTX/DSX, OTDR, power meters, visual fault locators) and interpreting results.
• Hands‑on experience in rack dressing, patch‑cord management, labeling standards, and maintaining workmanship in IDF/MDF/DC environments.
• Strong capability to…
