About the Role

This position is critical to maintaining the physical integrity of the University's fiber-optic network infrastructure. You will be responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of fiber cabling, including installation (both air-blown and traditional), cleaning, splicing, repair, testing, and occasional removal. The role requires a hands-on approach to diagnosing and resolving network problems, performing optical and electronic acceptance tests, and ensuring contiguous communication and network quality.

You will work across the main campus, the Hospital, the Research Park, and select off-campus locations. The day-to-day involves interpreting engineering documentation, maintaining and calibrating optical equipment, and updating the University's network infrastructure records. This role requires flexibility, including the ability to work after hours, on weekends, and holidays, as well as participating in an on-call rotation. A key requirement is the ability to be on campus within one hour of a call-out.
