Your Impact:
We are looking for a Central Office installer based in California who can also lead the crew. This is a hands-on Level 4 Working Lead position for someone who knows how to walk a live carrier site, verify actual conditions and material readiness, plan daily work, and deliver the installation through customer closeout.
You will lead Central Office equipment, cabling, -48V DC infrastructure, testing, and integration work under approved MOPs and customer standards, including TP76300 where assigned. Strong hands-on Central Office experience and proven crew leadership are required. General telecommunications, outside-plant, commercial cabling, or data-center-only work does not replace that experience. Every project is subject to customer audit. Attention to detail, timely field completion, and a clean, passing customer audit are core expectations of this Level 4 role.
A strong candidate can tell us about a CO installation they personally led, including crew size, equipment and power work, actual site measurements, safety controls, and completion documentation. A California home base by the start date is required.
Core Responsibilities:
– Lead job-start installation walkthroughs with customer representatives to verify installation scope, site restrictions, equipment locations, access and escort requirements, safety controls, and material readiness.
– Perform and lead installation of Central Office transmission, switching, routing, transport, and supporting telecommunications equipment, racks, bays, cable rack, and pathways.
– Install and terminate approved -48V DC power cabling, BDFB/fuse panel connections, grounding, bonding, and equipment power leads; perform power-work activities only when qualified and authorized under approved MOPs.
– Install, route, lace, secure, terminate, label, and test fiber, copper, coaxial, power, and grounding cables to customer standards.
– Read and interpret job specifications, floor plans, equipment drawings, wiring diagrams, cable schedules, schematics, MOPs, and test records; document discrepancies with actual site conditions.
– Assign daily work to Level 2 and Level 3 technicians, provide hands-on guidance, conduct safety briefings, and track progress; escalate obstacles early to protect agreed completion dates.
– Inspect crew work daily for workmanship, routing, labeling, terminations, test results, and customer standards; correct deficiencies before customer audit and support customer acceptance.
– Check field measurements and delivered materials against the issued drawings and BOM; flag missing or incorrect parts, assumed dimensions, and design conflicts to Engineering/PM for resolution before affected work proceeds.
– Perform approved equipment testing, turn-up, alarm verification, and integration; escalate scope changes and issues requiring customer or Engineering authorization.
– Prepare complete, audit-ready daily reports and as-builts, including marked-up drawings, equipment/cable schedules, labeled photos, test results, punch lists, and closeout records.
Be capable of performing the following work operations/job activities without supervision or direction:
