• • Coordinate with crew leads and other trades to meet schedule and site safety requirements

What we're looking for

• • Hands-on experience installing Ethernet and Cat6 structured cabling
• • Proven experience with fiber optic cabling, termination and testing (OTDR, VFL, fiber inspection)
• • Ability to read cable schedules, basic blueprints and follow installation drawings
• • Comfortable working in commercial construction settings, climbing, lifting and using hand/power tools
• • Must be willing to travel to Utah and remain on-site for the 18–24 month project duration
• • Clear communication in English and ability to work as part of a small crew

Qualifications

• • Installer-level telecommunications certification or equivalent field experience
• • Documented experience or training in optical fiber termination and testing
• • Training or credential in copper cabling termination and testing (or equivalent experience)
• • Proficient with OTDR and VFL equipment and fiber inspection procedures
• • Fluent in English and able to pass site onboarding and safety orientation

What we offer

• • Long-term assignment (18–24 months) with consistent, project-based work
• • Hands-on experience with fiber testing and advanced cabling installs
• • Overtime opportunities when project needs require
• • Site-specific safety and technical training provided
• • Work with experienced crews—good chance to sharpen field skills and qualifications
