Job Description

This technician will support an existing team from a MAC (move, add, change) and new‑build perspective. While much of the infrastructure is transitioning to VoIP, this role will primarily support emergency and classified hardlines that will remain on copper. Daily responsibilities include responding to trouble tickets and assisting the MAC team with various initiatives during downtime.

Fiber experience is a plus, but training can be provided. This role is set up as a long‑term contract with a strong potential for extension based on performance.

Tools used include butt sets, tone generators, multimeters, and probes. The role also involves supporting VoIP installations, emergency service lines, elevator lines, and provider telephony lines.

The individual will cross‑train on POTS lines, phone systems, and general telephony. During slower periods, they will assist with MAC work and structured cabling.
