• Conduct OTDR, Power Meter, and Light Source testing to validate fiber continuity, loss parameters, and link performance.
• Carry out fusion splicing, mechanical splicing, and pigtail termination as per defined quality standards and permissible loss limits.
• Execute joint closure installation, patch panel dressing, and ensure accurate labeling and documentation.
• Localize and restore fiber faults efficiently during outages or performance degradation.
• Coordinate with Field Operations, NOC, and Project teams for planned maintenance and emergency restoration.
• Maintain detailed splicing logs, test results, and fiber route documentation.
• Ensure adherence to safety norms, workmanship quality, and OEM best practices.
• Support expansion, migration, and upgradation projects including GPON, Non-GPON, and Enterprise circuits.
• Ensure proper upkeep and calibration of splicing machines, OTDRs, power meters, and safety tools.
