About Us

We are a full-service EPC contractor specializing in substation and infrastructure construction across Florida. As part of our work, we install and maintain fiber optic systems within and around substations—supporting critical communication and control systems for the electrical grid.

  • Label, dress, and organize fiber neatly within panels and enclosures
  • Work from prints, fiber diagrams, and basic construction drawings
  • Maintain a clean and safe job site
  • Work closely with crew members to complete daily tasks efficiently
Qualifications
  • Experience running and terminating fiber optic cable (SMF preferred)
  • Basic understanding of fiber installation standards and practices
  • Ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions
  • Willingness to travel throughout South and Central Florida
  • Reliable personal vehicle (mileage is reimbursed)
  • Strong work ethic and ability to work as part of a crew

Preferred:

  • Fiber splicing and testing experience
  • Experience working in substations, industrial, or utility environments
  • OSHA 10 or other safety certifications
Compensation & Perks
  • $23–$27/hour (based on experience)
  • Overtime opportunities (paid at applicable rates)
  • Per diem provided
  • Hotel accommodations covered
  • Mileage reimbursement for use of personal vehicle
  • Comprehensive benefits package (health, dental, vision, etc.)
Why Join Us?
  • Steady, project-based work across Florida
  • 4-day workweek (3-day weekends most weeks)
  • Opportunity to build specialized experience in substation fiber systems
  • Work on critical infrastructure projects with a growing company
