Inspect aerial plant for compliance with clearance, tension, grounding, and bonding standards; identify and remediate code violations.
Lead safety briefings (tailgate/toolbox talks) and enforce compliance with OSHA, company safety policy, and traffic control/work zone protocols.
Coordinate pole attachment permitting, utility locates (call-before-you-dig), and make-ready with third-party pole owners (electric utilities, ILECs).
Maintain, inspect, and certify company vehicles and aerial equipment (bucket trucks, digger derricks, tensioning equipment); complete daily pre-trip inspections.
Document completed work, red-line as-builts, splice records, and test results using company GIS/OSP mapping and ticketing systems.
Respond to emergency and after-hours outage calls as part of an on-call rotation.
Train, mentor, and evaluate junior technicians on aerial construction techniques and safety practices.
Communicate clearly with dispatch, engineering, and customers regarding job status, delays, and restoration timelines.
Perform other related duties as assigned.
The company reserves the right to add or change duties at any time.

Job Qualifications:

2+ years in a lead, foreman, or crew-lead capacity directing field technicians.
Demonstrated bucket truck / aerial lift operation experience, including working aerial fiber and strand at height on live utility poles.
Working knowledge of fiber optic cable splicing, OTDR/light-loss testing, and troubleshooting aerial FTTH plant.
Strong understanding of NESC (National Electrical Safety Code), pole attachment standards, and joint-use/make-ready procedures.
Experience with strand mapping, lashing machines, pole climbing (as backup to aerial lift), ladder usage and rigging.
Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record; Chauffeur’s License preferred.
Proficiency with OSP documentation tools, GIS mapping software, and standard mobile field applications.
High school diploma or equivalent required; technical/trade school training in telecommunications or electrical construction preferred.
