Fiber Optic Splicer

13 Weeks (65 training days / approximately 520 total hours). All training will be completed within the prescribed and authorized period for the organization's SkillBridge program.

The Fiber Optic Splicer is responsible for preparing, splicing, testing, and maintaining fiber optic cable networks in both aerial and underground environments (including outside plant (OSP) and inside plant (ISP) infrastructure). Responsibilities include performing mechanical and fusion splicing of single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic cables; organizing and terminating fibers within splice trays, splice closures, distribution frames, and patch panels; conducting Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) testing, power meter/light source (PM/LS) testing, and visual fault locator (VFL) checks; interpreting fiber distribution diagrams, splice drawings, and engineering schematics; troubleshooting and repairing fiber breaks, highloss events, and network degradation; and maintaining strict job-site safety standards, quality control compliance, and accurate as-built test documentation.
