Your Impact:
A successful Central Office installation takes more than good hands. It takes someone who can verify the site, understand the design, prepare the crew, and keep the work moving safely around live equipment. We are looking for that person to serve as a hands-on Level 4 Working Lead on carrier Central Office projects nationwide.
You will lead installation, modification, integration, testing, and removal of telecommunications equipment and -48V DC infrastructure. The role requires substantial, verifiable Central Office experience, prior crew leadership, approved MOP execution, and knowledge of applicable carrier standards, including TP76300 where assigned. General telecommunications, outside-plant, or commercial cabling experience alone is not enough. 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 walk us through a CO project they personally led: what was installed, how many people were on the crew, what power and safety controls were required, and how the job was documented and closed out.
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.
