• Use basic tools like laptops or handheld testers to verify connectivity.
• Perform network provisioning and support tasks on fiber-fed systems
• Work alongside cabling teams to validate and activate services
• Verify connectivity, test endpoints, and support field deployments
• Document configurations and assist with escalation troubleshooting

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience in network setup or telecom/ISP environments
• Familiarity with Corning systems and Optical Network Terminals (ONTs)
• Basic knowledge of IP addressing, switches, and home/business networking
• Ability to follow network diagrams and scope-of-work documentation
• Corning, Cisco, or BICSI certifications are a plus
