Job Description:

We are seeking a technically rigorous and disciplined Fiber Splicing Engineer to join our infrastructure team in Lagos. In the high-capacity data sector, success is defined by "Link Fidelity", the ability to execute near-zero-loss splices and maintain complex optical networks under demanding field conditions. This role is designed for a "Splicing Specialist" with 2+ years of experience who can blend "Manual Precision" with the "Diagnostic Grit" required for OTDR testing and site troubleshooting.

Your mission is to ensure "Zero-Interruption Connectivity and Structural Quality." You will be the primary steward of our physical fiber layer: responsible for cable preparation, closure installation, and the critical cut-over of live services. If you possess "Optical Mastery," proficiency in Fusion Splicing, and a strict adherence to EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) standards, we want you to drive our engineering excellence.

Requirements:

1. Fusion Splicing & Fiber Management

• Optical Integration: Perform high-precision splicing on both single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic cables, ensuring that every joint meets stringent decibel (dB) loss standards.

• Cable Stewardship: Expertly prepare fiber cables, manage individual strands within trays, and install protective closures and patch panels to safeguard the network.

• Standardization: Ensure that all installation and splicing work complies with international telecom standards and project-specific engineering blueprints.

2. Diagnostic Testing & Commissioning

• OTDR Analysis: Conduct comprehensive Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) and optical power meter testing to validate link performance and identify faults.

• Link Validation: Interpret test results to provide high-fidelity reports, documenting splice loss, reflectance, and end-to-end attenuation.

• On-Site Troubleshooting: Support active site installations and cut-over activities, providing rapid-response diagnostics to resolve network outages or signal degradation.

3. Site Governance & EHS Compliance

• Safety Stewardship: Follow all site safety and EHS rules religiously, ensuring a zero-accident environment during high-risk fiber construction activities.

• Record Integrity: Maintain meticulous work records, including fiber maps, splicing charts, and site progress reports.

• Operational Agility: Work collaboratively within a team environment, demonstrating the flexibility to handle on-site challenges and project-driven overtime requirements.

Qualifications and Skills:

Professional Profile

• Education: Minimum of a Diploma or above in Telecommunications, Electronics, or a related technical field.

• Experience: 2+ years of progressive experience in fiber splicing or fiber optic construction. (Experience on major Telecom Operator projects is highly preferred).

• Technical Mastery: Highly skilled in operating Fusion Splicers, OTDRs, OLTS, and other optical test tools.

Core Competencies

• Precision Grit: Exceptional hand-eye coordination and attention to detail for handling microscopic fiber strands.

• Analytical Prowess: Ability to read and interpret complex fiber cable structures and communication system designs.

• Team Synergy: A proactive team player capable of working effectively under pressure in fast-paced operational environments.
