Their work involves running cables, connecting equipment, troubleshooting network issues, and ensuring that connections are working efficiently.

Familiarity with fiber optic testing equipment, splicing tools, OTDRs (Optical Time Domain Reflectometers), and industry certifications like FOA or ETA is commonly expected.
