Multi-Site Field Project

Our client is ramping up for a large-scale telecommunications Central Office deployment and network migration project across Pennsylvania

We are seeking experienced Central Office Technicians with hands-on carrier telecom experience to join the project. This is not a survey-only position. 

Technicians will support multiple phases of the deployment, including site surveys, migration readiness, equipment installation, cabling, integration and scheduled cut-over activities. 

What You'll Do

  • Survey and document existing telecom equipment, racks, bays, cabling, power and connectivity. 
  • Trace circuits, cables, cross-connects and termination points. 
  • Verify existing equipment and network records against actual field conditions. 
  • Assess rack space, power, grounding and cabling requirements for new equipment. 
  • Rack, mount, power, ground, cable and label new customer-provided network equipment. 
  • Support network migrations, equipment swaps and cutovers. 
  • Perform post-installation documentation and connectivity validation. 
  • Follow customer engineering standards, MOPs, safety procedures and change-control requirements.
  • Travel between assigned Central Office locations in Pennsylvania.

What We're Looking For 
  • Hands-on experience working in telecommunications Central Offices, carrier wire centers or similar carrier facilities. 
  • Strong knowledge of Central Office equipment, racks/bays, shelves, cards, ports, patch panels and cross-connects. 
  • Experience tracing telecom circuits, cables and connections. 
  • Ability to read engineering records, equipment lists, rack elevations and network documentation. 
  • Experience working safely around live production telecom equipment. 
  • Central Office equipment installation experience including rack & stack, cabling, power and grounding. 
  • Ability to accurately document field conditions using Excel or electronic field tools. 
  • Willingness to travel among assigned project sites. 

Highly Relevant Experience 
Experience with any of the following is a strong plus: 
  • DACS/DCS and DSX environments. 
  • DS1/T1, DS3/T3 and SONET/OC-n. 
  • Legacy TDM and carrier transport equipment. 
  • Fiber/FDF and copper cross-connect environments. 
  • Ethernet and network-management connectivity. 
  • Circuit grooming, migration and decommissioning. 
  • Maintenance-window or hot-cut activities. 
  • Cisco, Ciena, Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent, Juniper, Adtran or other carrier-grade telecom equipment. 

Project Details 
  • This is a multi-site field deployment supporting Central Office locations throughout Pennsylvania 
  • Work schedules will vary by site and project phase, and some migration/cut-over activities may take place during overnight maintenance windows.
