What are the responsibilities and job description for the Field technician position at CoSM Construction & Networking LLC?
FIELD TECHNICIAN – PART-TIME
Location: Seattle, Renton, Federal Way, WA & Surrounding Areas
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
At Signal Cable Inc., we're looking for experienced Fiber Optic Technicians interested in taking on additional field assignments throughout the Seattle, Renton, and Federal Way areas.
Our company is currently seeking technicians with hands-on experience in fiber optic splicing, fiber blowing, or underground fiber installation who would like to earn extra income while maintaining flexibility in their schedules.
This opportunity is particularly suitable for individuals who already work in the telecommunications industry and are interested in additional projects, occasional field assignments, or part-time work.
We are looking for technicians with approximately 1.5–2 years of relevant field experience who are comfortable working independently and completing assignments according to established technical and safety requirements.
Depending on the nature of the engagement and applicable employment classification requirements, opportunities may be available through part-time W-2 employment or independent contractor (1099) arrangements.
WHAT KIND OF WORK WILL YOU BE DOING?
As part of our field operations, you may be assigned to fiber optic installation, splicing, network maintenance, or underground construction projects throughout the greater Seattle area.
For technicians specializing in fiber splicing, assignments may involve preparing fiber optic cables, performing fusion splicing, organizing splice closures, testing connections using OTDR equipment, identifying network faults, and completing corrective work when necessary.
For those experienced in fiber blowing, responsibilities may include operating fiber blowing machines and air compressors, preparing underground conduits and cable routes, installing fiber optic cables through ducts or microduct systems, and ensuring that installations meet project requirements.
Depending on your experience and the needs of each project, you may perform one or both types of work.
Our technicians are also expected to maintain accurate documentation, communicate effectively with project supervisors, and complete assigned work safely and professionally.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are primarily interested in candidates who already have practical experience working with fiber optic networks and telecommunications infrastructure.
Ideally, you should have at least 18–24 months of hands-on experience in fiber splicing, fiber blowing, underground fiber installation, or related outside plant telecommunications work.
You should be familiar with the equipment, tools, and procedures associated with your area of specialization.
For splicing assignments, experience with fusion splicers, fiber preparation, splice closures, and optical testing equipment is important.
For fiber blowing assignments, knowledge of fiber blowing machines, compressors, underground conduit systems, and proper cable handling is highly valuable.
We expect our technicians to work responsibly, follow project specifications, maintain professional communication, and complete assignments without constant supervision.
A valid driver's license and reliable transportation suitable for field operations are required.
FLEXIBLE WORK OPPORTUNITIES
We understand that experienced technicians may already have full-time employment or other professional commitments.
That's why we're interested in connecting with individuals who are available for additional assignments, part-time schedules, or project-based work.
This opportunity may be a good fit if you're looking to supplement your current income, take on additional telecommunications projects, or make use of your existing technical experience during available days.
Assignments will depend on project availability, location, technical requirements, and scheduling needs. A fixed number of weekly hours is not guaranteed.
COMPENSATION & ENGAGEMENT OPTIONS
Compensation will depend on the type of work performed, relevant experience, project requirements, and the applicable payment structure.
Signal Cable Inc. may offer opportunities under either of the following arrangements, depending on the role and applicable worker-classification requirements:
Part-Time W-2 Employment: Compensation and working conditions will be established in accordance with applicable federal and Washington State employment and wage requirements.
Independent Contractor (1099): Project-based opportunities may be available for individuals or businesses that qualify for independent contractor status under applicable law.
Specific rates, project assignments, scheduling arrangements, and engagement terms will be discussed during the selection process.
