Description

Join the Team That's Building the Future of Fiber!


Zero dB Communications (ZdB) is one of the West Coast's fastest-growing full-turnkey fiber optic contractors. Founded in 2011 and led by Zach Kuhlmann, we've built a reputation for delivering high-quality design, engineering, construction, splicing, and testing across the western United States.

If you want to join a team known for precision, reliability, and tackling complex fiber challenges, ZdB is where you belong.


As a Fiber Optic Splicing Technician, you will perform single and ribbon fusion splicing across aerial and underground environments in rural, metro, commercial, and residential settings. Supporting metro new builds and long-haul route expansions, your core duties include OSP/ISP splicing, testing, troubleshooting, and emergency restorations, with occasional short cable installs. Expect a standard Monday through Friday schedule with a mix of day and night shifts, 25-35% travel, and on-call weekend availability for emergency calls. We are currently hiring 1 to 2 technicians for this role.
