The Fiber Optical Repair Technician is responsible for the repair, restoration, and maintenance of fiber optic infrastructure, including splicing, testing, and troubleshooting of both single-mode and ribbon fiber cables. This role ensures the rapid restoration of network services and supports ongoing operational excellence in high-availability environments.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate exceptional technical competency, situational awareness in live network environments, and the ability to lead or coordinate complex restoration efforts under pressure.

• Perform fault isolation and repairs on fiber optic cables and connectors, from initial fault detection through to full service restoration.
• Conduct both emergency restorations and planned maintenance activities with strict adherence to SLAs.
• Conduct single and ribbon fiber splicing within Meet-Me Vaults (MMVs), splice cases, and central Optical Distribution Frames (ODFs).
• Perform full cable preparation: jacket stripping, buffer tube access, fiber cleaning, cleaving, splicing, and protection.
• Use precision tools (fusion splicer, VFL, fiber identifiers) and ensure high-quality workmanship throughout.
• Adhere to live traffic handling procedures and ensure minimal service disruption during repairs.

• Operate advanced fiber testing instruments (OTDR, OLTS, power meters, microscopes, and inspection scopes).
• Conduct post-repair verification, including loss testing, reflectance analysis, and trace review.
• Accurately interpret OTDR traces and locate break points, micro bands, or connector faults.
• Perform in-depth root cause analysis on recurring or systemic network issues.
• Implement corrective and preventive measures to improve reliability and reduce fault recurrence.

• Maintain accurate records of repair activities, test results, and maintenance logs.
• Comply with relevant industry standards (ITU-T, FOA, BICSI, TIA/EIA, NEC) and local safety regulations.
• Support audits and quality assurance processes as required.

• Work closely with field operations, network engineers, and project managers to coordinate repair activities.
• Provide guidance, mentorship, and on-the-job training to junior team members.
• Participate in on-call rotations and respond to network outages within defined SLAs (e.g., 4-hour response for emergencies).
• Communicate clearly with internal teams and clients during critical incidents, providing real-time updates and restoration progress reports.

• Stay current with the latest fiber optic technologies, repair techniques, and industry best practices.
• Participate in technical training, cross-functional workshops, and skill enhancement initiatives.
• Contribute to the refinement of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and restoration workflows.

• 5+ years’ experience in fiber optic repair, splicing, testing, and restoration — including live-network work.
• Proficient in using advanced test and repair equipment: OTDR, OLTS, power meter, fusion splicer, fiber identifier, and inspection scopes.
• Strong ability to interpret OTDR traces, event tables, and loss readings for accurate fault localization.
• Deep knowledge of fiber types, connector standards (LC, SC, MPO, MTP), and splice protection methods.
• Experience with both single-mode (OS1/OS2) and multi-mode (OM3/OM4/OM5) fibers.
• Familiarity with high-count and ribbon fiber systems (864+, 1728+, etc.) and mass fusion techniques.
• Skilled at working in both OSP (outside…
