• Test and verify signal quality to ensure network performance standards are met
• Work in both aerial and underground environments, including bucket trucks and confined spaces
• Maintain accurate documentation of completed work and network updates
• Adhere to all safety standards and project procedures
• All other duties as assigned.

 

Required Qualifications

• Minimum of 2 years of coax splicing experience within HFC networks
• Strong understanding of RF theory and DOCSIS systems
• Experience using signal level meters (VIAVI, Trilithic, or equivalent)
• Ability to read and interpret network design prints and maps
• Experience working in aerial and/or underground construction environments
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
• Ability to work in various weather conditions and lift up to 50 lbs.
