Job description

Fiber Splicing Coordinator
Company: Davey Resource Group, Inc.
Locations: Cleveland Heights, OH
Additional Locations: OH Statewide
Work Site: On Site
Req ID: 223960
Position Overview
The Splicing Coordinator oversees fiber optic splicing operations for telecommunications construction projects, ensuring they are completed safely, on time, and meet strict optical performance standards. This role involves coordinating between fiber engineers, splicing subcontractors, the client representative, and project stakeholders. Key tasks include reviewing splice matrices, overseeing fusion splicing (backbone and lateral), conducting OTDR/Power Meter testing audits, splicing scheduling, and managing the close-out documentation for fiber networks. This position is a technical leadership role, requiring deep "hands-on" splicing knowledge to troubleshoot light loss issues and manage specialized splicing crews in the field.
Job Duties
  • Directly supervises internal splicing crews and subcontractors, ensuring all fusion splicing, termination, and enclosure prep (FOSC) meet client specifications.
  • Partners with Project Managers to review splice maps, fiber schematics, and assignment sheets to ensure crews have accurate data before hitting the field.
  • Audits fiber test results (OTDR, Power Meter, and CD/PMD). Troubleshoots high-loss splices and identifies point-of-failure issues.
  • Provides daily production reports specifically tracking "splices completed" vs. "burn rate" to keep projects on schedule.
  • Conducts onsite visits to perform "ride-outs," ensuring enclosures are dressed properly and fiber slack is managed according to standards.
  • Ensures crews adhere to laser safety protocols and proper disposal of fiber shards/hazardous materials.
  • Leads the training of new splicers on specialized equipment, including fusion splicers, cleavers, and testing software.
  • Manages inventory of splicing consumables (sleeves, trays, pigtails) and specialized equipment maintenance.
  • Utilizes GIS software and fiber management systems to update "as-built" records after splicing completion.
  • Travels (up to 75%) to job sites to oversee splicing production and troubleshoot complex network handoffs.

Qualifications
  • Required: High-school diploma with a minimum of 3-5 years of hands-on fiber splicing experience (Fusion splicing, ribbon splicing, and emergency restoration).
  • Required: Proven experience overseeing or leading splicing crews (foreman or lead tech experience).
  • Required: Expert-level knowledge of fiber optic network architecture (FTTH, HFC, and Long-haul) and various fiber types.
  • Required: Proficiency with splicing equipment (Fujikura, Sumitomo, etc.) and testing equipment (Viavi, EXFO).
  • Required: Demonstrated ability to read and interpret complex splice matrices and blueprints.
  • Required: Good interpersonal skills for coordinating between engineering teams and field crews.
  • Required: Comfortable working outdoors in various weather conditions and performing physically demanding tasks.
  • Preferred: Certified Fiber Optic Technician (CFOT) or equivalent industry certification.
  • Preferred: Experience with fiber management software (e.g., OSPInsight, Vetro, or 3-GIS).
