  • Execute low-risk moves, adds, changes, and disconnects (MACD activities) under the direction of senior team members.
  • Perform routine visual inspections of equipment, cabling, alarms, and work areas, escalating issues as needed.
  • Follow established methods of procedure (MOPs), safety requirements, and quality standards at all times.
