Traveling Fiber Splicing Specialist

About the Role

LINX is hiring Fiber Specialists for its travel-based team that deploys to enterprise, hyperscale, and hyperscale data center builds across the country. If you can independently run ribbon and loose tube fusion splicing, validate your own work against customer acceptance criteria on OTDR and OLTS, and you're looking for consistent, high-volume fiber work rather than one job site indefinitely, this role is built for you. You'll be on the leading edge of the infrastructure buildout driving AI and GPU cluster deployment, working alongside some of the most technically demanding fiber environments in the industry today.

Where This Role Fits at LINX

The Fiber Team is a parallel specialist track within LINX's low voltage field structure. It sits alongside, not on top of, the standard Technician through Superintendent ladder. Every role on the Fiber Team specializes in fiber splicing.
