Job description

Position Overview
The Fiber Optic Splicer performs underground and aerial outside plant (OSP) fiber splicing, termination, and testing across Alaska Directional projects statewide. The role requires hands-on splicing expertise and the ability to work independently in remote or challenging environments, including fusion and ribbon splicing, OSP and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) terminations, and field testing to verify circuit continuity and quality.
Essential Job Responsibilities
Splicing and Termination
  • Perform single-fiber fusion splicing and ribbon fiber splicing.
  • Splice and test the full range of OSP cable types, including 6-96 count double-jacket, single-armor, loose tube; 144 ribbon, single tube, single armor; and 144 spider ribbon shielded fiber.
  • Build and maintain Coyote splice closures (6.5 and 9.5) and perform underground splicing and service work from handholes.
  • Install and splice aerial fiber terminals and aerial splices, and place slack storage (snowshoes).
  • Install and terminate AFL OptiNID and other FTTH terminals at the home demarcation.
  • Terminate and build fiber patch panels.

Testing and Quality Control
  • Perform all common fiber testing, including light and continuity testing to confirm correct circuit assignment.
  • Test in accordance with applicable industry and project standards (TIA/EIA, ASTM, and project specifications).
  • Document splice and test results per project QA/QC requirements.
  • Conduct quality control checks to confirm splice and termination work meets specifications.

Field Operations and HSE
  • Support and maintain a zero-incident safety culture.
  • Maintain splicing and test equipment (fusion splicer, cleaver, OTDR, light source, power meter) in field-ready condition.
  • Participate in incident investigations and corrective actions as required.
  • Ensure compliance with AKD HSE policies, project safety plans, and regulatory requirements.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Manufacturer fusion splicing certification (or equivalent documented training).
  • BICSI or comparable fiber installation/testing credentials.
  • OSHA 10 or OSHA 30.
  • AK CDL.
  • Prior FTTH or remote Alaska OSP project experience.

Union Requirements
This position is open to qualified union and non-union splicers. Alaska Directional employs the selected candidate under the IBEW Local 1547 Outside Telecommunications Agreement (OTA), and IBEW Local 1547 administers referral and classification under the agreement's referral procedure.
  • Wages, benefits, hours of work, per diem, and working conditions are governed by the current OTA.
  • As a condition of employment, the selected candidate must become and remain a member of IBEW Local 1547 by the eighth (8th) day following the date of hire, in accordance with the agreement.
  • Out-of-work registration, referral group placement, and any required journeyman examination or qualification are determined solely by IBEW Local 1547 under the OTA.
  • Payment of applicable union initiation fees and dues as required under the agreement.

AKD expects the successful candidate to pursue IBEW Local 1547 journeyman certification, including sitting the journeyman's examination as soon as eligibility allows, and to advance referral standing under the OTA as residency and hour requirements are met. Examination eligibility, scheduling, and group placement are determined solely by IBEW Local 1547.
Required Qualifications
  • Minimum 6,000 hours of documented field splicing experience across underground and aerial outside plant work (roughly three years full-time equivalent).
  • Proficiency in single-fiber fusion splicing and ribbon fiber splicing.
  • Proficiency with OSP closures (Coyote-type), aerial terminals, and FTTH terminals (OptiNID or equivalent).
  • Proficiency with fiber test equipment and the ability to interpret results (light test, power meter, OTDR).
  • Ability to work within a unionized (IBEW Local 1547) environment.
  • Ability to travel to and work at remote Alaska sites on a rotational or camp basis as scheduled.
  • Valid driver's license and ability to pass pre-employment and project-required screening.

Work Environment and Physical Requirements
  • Remote and road-system Alaska field work with travel to project sites. Rotation and camp conditions as scheduled.
  • Outdoor work in variable and adverse weather.
  • Frequent bending, kneeling, and work in and around handholes. Aerial work at height.
  • Lifting and carrying of equipment and materials.
  • Compliance with all PPE and AKD/project HSE requirements.
