Fiber Optics Technician

Fiber Optic Technician

Fiber optic pay rate: $27/hr - $30/hr shift: Mon-Friday 12 hrs shift, weekends as needed. Less electricians: electricians do not test low voltage cable cores. Ship yard hydraulic testing is not transferable to this role. Need pressure testing experience between 5,000PSI to 25,000PSI. Fiber experience should be heavily based in fusion splicing and perform OTDR testing through these fusion splices. Most of the fiber experience is setting up networks in large stores and troubleshooting connection issues and not performing actual testing. The F.A.T. Technician performs factory authorized (FAT) or verification testing and related tasks for the completion of OSS Umbilicals & Products. The ideal candidate possesses both a high level of technical expertise and an innate passion for quality. You will play a critical role in ensuring the integrity and safety of our product delivery to the client. Essential skills and functions to be possessed and demonstrated:

• Perform fiber optic testing & splicing (Outside Plant Certified)
• Perform low voltage (1000V) cable testing & medium voltage (6000V+) cable testing a. Conductor resistance, insulation resistance, crosstalk/attenuation, impedance, resistance, and high potential testing
• Measure resistance, continuity, voltage using test equipment
• Perform & assist in hydrostatic pressure testing of SDSS umbilicals & DE products (10,000-30,000psi)
• Set up specialized equipment, perform leak checks by using appropriate equipment and procedures, and verify check completion
• Operation and basic maintenance of high pressure water jet & hydratron pumps
