Network Fiber Technician

A Day in the Life

You’ll start your day reviewing scheduled installs or repairs, loading up your equipment, and heading into the field. One job may require you to pull fiber to a new home, while the next has you up in the bucket truck making aerial repairs. Throughout the day, you’ll coordinate with dispatch, document your work, and make sure everything is completed safely and correctly.

Whether it’s installing new service or restoring downed lines, your work directly impacts the quality of life for our customers.

• Install, maintain, and repair mainline and service fiber cables and related equipment
• Operate bucket trucks and assist with pole transfers and aerial construction
• Troubleshoot and repair damaged fiber lines to restore service
• Follow all safety protocols and standards on every job site
• Maintain accurate documentation and communicate clearly with team members and supervisors
• Provide responsive, courteous service during installations or repairs
• Maintain a valid driver’s license and clean driving record
• Lift, carry, push, or pull up to 75 lbs as part of daily tasks
• Show up consistently and ready to work in all weather conditions

Preferred Qualifications:

• 2+ years of experience in fiber, construction, or utility work
• Some college or technical training preferred
• Prior experience with aerial construction or working from a bucket truck
• Flexible and solutions-oriented when challenges arise
• Comfortable working independently or with a small team
