Job Title: Fiber Field Service Engineer
Location: Lagos
Job Summary
- The Fiber Field Service Engineer (FSE) is responsible for the installation, maintenance, testing, and emergency restoration of fiber optic network infrastructure.
- This includes both outside plant (OSP) and inside plant (ISP) environments, covering active and passive optical networks (FTTH, dark fiber, enterprise fiber, and backhaul links).
- The ideal candidate combines technical expertise in fusion splicing and OTDR testing with strong field troubleshooting capabilities.
Key Responsibilities
Installation & Splicing:
- Perform precision fusion splicing, mechanical splicing, and fiber termination on core, distribution, and drop cables (singlemode and multimode).
- Install, dress, and terminate fiber optic cables in fiber patch panels, splice enclosures, optical distribution frames (ODF), and customer premises equipment (CPE/ONT).
- Route and secure optical fiber pathways in conduit systems, pole lines, risers, and underground manholes/handholes.
Testing & Commissioning:
- Conduct end-to-end optical testing using OTDR (Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer), LSPM (Light Source and Power Meter), and VFL (Visual Fault Locator).
- Analyze OTDR trace files ($1310,text{nm}$, $1550,text{nm}$, $1625,text{nm}$) to quantify splice loss, connector reflectance, attenuation, and total link loss against defined SLA thresholds.
- Document and submit clean, as-built test results and fiber mapping/matrix reports upon project completion.
Maintenance & Emergency Fault Restoration:
- Respond to fiber cuts, degradation, and network outages within defined SLA turnaround times (on-call rotation required).
- Utilize OTDR fault-location techniques to pinpoint fiber breaks or micro/macro-bends accurately.
- Perform mid-span access and splice repairs on live or degraded cable runs with minimal downtime.
Site Inspection & Quality Control:
- Conduct joint site surveys (JSS) and quality assurance audits on contractor/third-party fiber installations.
- Ensure all installations comply with international fiber standards (ITU-T G.652/G.657, TIA/EIA-568) and local safety/regulatory guidelines.
- Maintain an organized inventory of field tools, fusion splicers, cleavers, test kits, and safety gear (PPE).
Requirements
- NCE, OND, BSc, or, HND with a minimum of 3 years experience.
