Production Fiber Splicer – Data Center

Position Summary

The Production Fiber Splicer is responsible for performing high-volume fiber optic splicing, testing, troubleshooting, and documentation within data center and mission-critical network environments. This role supports large-scale fiber infrastructure deployments, including backbone, distribution, and interconnect projects. The ideal candidate has experience with ribbon fiber, mass fusion splicing, MPO/MTP connectivity, and maintaining production schedules in fast-paced construction environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform fusion splicing of single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic cables, including ribbon and loose tube fiber.
• Complete large-scale fiber splicing projects supporting data center builds, expansions, and network upgrades.
• Install, terminate, test, and troubleshoot fiber optic cabling systems.
• Conduct mass fusion ribbon splicing and high-count fiber cable terminations.
• Perform OTDR, insertion loss, continuity, and power meter testing.
• Interpret construction drawings, splice matrices, fiber allocation plans, and network schematics.
• Document splice records, test results, and as-built information accurately.
• Troubleshoot and repair damaged fiber infrastructure to minimize downtime.
• Maintain productivity and quality standards while meeting project schedules and deadlines.
• Coordinate with project managers, construction teams, and network engineers to ensure successful project completion.
• Follow all customer, company, and data center safety requirements.
• Maintain splicing equipment, testing tools, and inventory of consumables.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of fiber optic splicing experience, preferably in data center, telecommunications, or large enterprise environments.
• Proficiency with fusion splicing equipment and fiber testing instruments.
• Experience with high-count fiber cables, ribbon fiber, and MPO/MTP connectivity.
• Ability to read and interpret fiber network diagrams, construction prints, and splice documentation.
• Strong understanding of fiber optic standards, testing procedures, and industry best practices.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Strong organizational and documentation skills.
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel to project sites as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting hyperscale or colocation data center environments.
• Knowledge of structured cabling systems and data center infrastructure.
• Certifications such as CFOT, FOA, BICSI, or manufacturer-specific fiber certifications.
• Experience with large-scale production splicing programs involving thousands of fiber terminations.
• Familiarity with quality assurance and acceptance testing procedures for mission-critical networks.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds.
• Ability to work on ladders, in overhead cable pathways, and in confined spaces.
• Ability to distinguish fiber color codes and perform precision work requiring manual dexterity.
• Ability to stand, walk, bend, and kneel for extended periods.

Success Factors

• Consistently delivers high-quality splice work with minimal rework.
• Maintains production goals on large-scale fiber deployment projects.
• Demonstrates strong attention to detail and documentation accuracy.
• Works effectively in fast-paced data center construction environments while maintaining safety and quality standards.

This role is ideal for a fiber professional who enjoys high-volume production splicing and contributing to large-scale data center deployments where quality, efficiency, and reliability are critical.
