• Install, splice, terminate, and test fibre optic cables (both underground and aerial).


• Perform fault diagnosis and repair of fibre optic links using tools such as OTDR, power meters, and splicing machines.


• Carry out site surveys, prepare documentation (e.g., as-built drawings, test reports), and ensure all installations comply with standards.


• Monitor and maintain the performance of the fibre network, responding to outages and degradation issues.


• Coordinate with contractors, vendors, and internal teams to ensure smooth deployment and maintenance.


• Support the upgrade and expansion of fibre infrastructure to meet growing capacity needs.


• Ensure safety practices and regulatory compliance in all fibre-related operations.


• Provide technical support and training to junior engineers or field teams.

Requirements

Education & Experience:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related field.


• Minimum of 2–5 years’ experience working with fibre optic technologies.

Technical Skills:

• Proficient in OTDR, optical power meter, and fusion splicing equipment.


• Strong understanding of fibre optics transmission theory, GPON, and DWDM systems.


• Knowledge of network design tools and CAD software is an advantage.


• Familiarity with industry standards (e.g., ITU, IEEE, TIA/EIA).

Soft Skills:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.


• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.


• Ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines.
