Job Description:

Fiber Network Operations & Documentation Specialist (Contract Position)

Overview

We are seeking a Fiber Network Operations & Documentation Specialist to support the ongoing operations of a large and growing fiber optic network. This role focuses on outside plant (OSP) fiber infrastructure, field coordination, and building accurate, usable documentation to support network reliability and scalability.

This is a hands‑on, operational role supporting day‑to‑day business needs rather than a short‑term project.

• Serve as a liaison between internal teams, field operations, vendors, and customers
• Schedule outages and manage change requests with customers and suppliers
• Support access coordination for technicians and vendors across data centers and field locations
• Locate, organize, and maintain network documentation, including fiber routes, assets, conditions, and maintenance records
• Reconcile field findings with existing documentation to improve accuracy
• Create documentation that enables NOC/IOC teams to troubleshoot and coordinate responses independently
• Spend time in the field verifying outside plant assets such as manholes, handholes, conduits, and fiber routes
• Review and analyze OTDR test results (hands‑on testing not required)
• Collaborate with engineering, operations, and leadership to support long‑term network growth
• Assist with transitioning hands‑on work to field operations teams through improved processes and documentation
• Potentially support customer‑facing or sales engineering efforts over time, depending on experience and interest
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Strong understanding of outside plant (OSP) fiber networks
• Experience coordinating and scheduling field operations
• Ability to read and interpret OTDR test results
• Highly organized with a documentation‑driven mindset
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Comfortable working independently across a large geographic footprint
• Willingness to spend time in the field as needed
  
  

Additional Information

• Primary location focus: Atlanta metro area
• Travel: Up to approximately 25% overnight travel
• Education: Degree not required; relevant experience preferred
• Engagement type: Contract with long‑term potential
