What is Splicing?
Fusion splicing is the act of joining two optical fibers end-to-end. The goal is to fuse the two fibers together in such a way that light passing through the fibers is not scattered or reflected back by the splice, and so that the splice and the region surrounding it are almost as strong as the intact fiber.

Due to growth, we are looking for an experienced Splicer to join our team. You will be deployed after the cable team to joint locations, either on a telegraph pole or in underground joint boxes. You will join together fibers using FNC’s (fibre node allocation). After all fibers are spliced as per the FNC’s you will ensure all light that is passing through the fibres are good quality by testing at the end point (CBT (connectorized block terminal).
