Troubleshooting

Ability to diagnose and resolve fiber circuit issues independently.
Experience identifying fault locations across DMARCs, patch panels, and fiber routes.
Capable of managing multiple circuit issues while maintaining priorities and quality standards.

Documentation & Reporting

Experience logging field test results using mobile or web-based applications.
Ability to maintain accurate records and complete audit documentation.
Comfortable learning new customer-specific software and workflows.
Experience updating ticketing systems or customer portals.
