Excellent attention to detail and the ability to recognize non-conformities and propose practical solutions.
Competence in reading and interpreting technical drawings, schematics, and work orders.
Effective written and verbal communication skills, including preparing clear reports and interacting with diverse field teams and customers.
Comfort working outdoors in various weather conditions and traveling frequently to job sites.
Proficiency with computers and mobile devices, including basic use of surveying, mapping, and reporting software.

Preferred

Associate or bachelor’s degree in telecommunications, electronics, or a related field.
5+ years of experience in fiber optic installation/auditing and telecommunications quality assurance.
