Network Systems Delivery

- Lead the end-to-end installation termination testing and certification of UTP fiber optic (single- and multi-core) and structured LAN cabling adhering to TIA/ISO standards and site-specific requirements.

- Execute preventive and corrective maintenance on cabling infrastructure to ensure network availability and compliance with service level agreements.

- Utilize specialized test equipment (e.g. OTDR power meters Fluke testers) to validate performance and generate documentation for acceptance handover and audit trails.

- Conduct comprehensive site surveys and produce detailed reports bills of quantities (BOQs) and material lists for new installations upgrades and maintenance tasks.

- Manage inventory of passive network components (cables patch panels termination kits accessories) to ensure timely availability for all planned activities.

- Design and deploy structured cabling overlays for temporary venues and events ensuring clear segregation from permanent base-build networks.

- Collaborate with active network teams on rack layouts patching plans labeling schemes and IDF/MDF readiness to support project schedules.

- Create update and maintain accurate network drawings (using tools such as AutoCAD/Visio) and patching matrices ensuring they reflect the as-built environment and follow change management protocols.

- Perform patching cable dressing and rack mounting of active devices maintain patch cord organization and provide L1 remote hands support for basic troubleshooting and changes as directed by Network Engineers.

- Ensure all work complies with health safety and environmental (HSE) regulations permit-to-work systems and site rules maintaining a safe and professional work environment.

Communication & Documentation

- Prepare precise technical documentation including site survey reports test reports as-built drawings patching matrices and handover packages.

- Document incident details root causes and corrective actions to support continuous improvement and team knowledge sharing.

- Communicate technical issues work status and requirements effectively to both technical teams (Network Engineers Project Managers) and non-technical stakeholders.

- Provide accurate material estimates cable run details and resource requirements to aid in planning budgeting and procurement.

- Maintain up-to-date records within ticketing and work-order systems ensuring all jobs are properly logged updated and closed with relevant documentation.

Problem Solving Skills

- Diagnose and resolve complex passive network issues (cable faults patching errors fiber breaks performance degradation) using advanced test equipment and systematic troubleshooting methods.

- Analyze recurring faults to identify root causes (design installation material or operational) and recommend sustainable corrective actions.

- Propose and help implement improvements to tools labeling standards testing procedures and documentation to enhance network reliability and reduce incidents.

- Provide on-site technical leadership during major incidents or events coordinating with engineers vendors and operations to restore services within SLAs.

- Proactively identify risks (e.g. cable damage rack congestion) and suggest improvements to increase network stability and ease of maintenance.

Requirements

- Minimum of 10 years of experience in IT infrastructure/network support with substantial hands-on expertise in structured cabling campus LAN and data center environments.
