Fiber Construction Jobs

Navigating the Construction Industry: What are fiber construction careers?

National OnDemand has a variety of divisions categorizing the positions we have available. Additionally, our divisions spearhead different areas of work, allowing us to provide full-turnkey solutions to our clients.

The Construction Division focuses on building out infrastructure projects for clients. This includes all of our provided services, including fiber, wireless, energy and technology. Construction involves many moving pieces, meaning that the number of people needed for a successful project can be great.

Safety, communication, consistency, collaboration and performance are the foundation

Our projects vary in shape and size, meaning the positions required for each project also change. However, some roles are consistently needed across the board. Although all are important, Aerial Lineman, Groundmen, Underground Operators and Underground Laborers are consistently a focal point in our projects as we continue to build fiber networks for our clients. Together, these four positions make up the main elements of the Construction Division. However, the work doesn’t start, nor stop, with them.

We prioritize safety in everything that we do. As part of this, we have Construction Safety Coordinators on site to ensure that everyone is following proper procedure while completing projects. They act as the team’s overwatch, regularly inspecting workers’ activity to uphold safety protocols.

We also have Construction Administrative Assistants that help keep all aspects of the project on track, tackling some of the logistics to assist the team. They act as a middle point for some of communication between different tiers of management.

As with most businesses, a majority of our supplies are stored in warehouses and laydown yards. These supplies need to be properly stored and categorized for the highest efficiency for our team members. This is where the roles of Warehouse Assistant and Warehouse Supervisor come in.

Within the Construction Division, we have an elite travel team that moves as needed to properly start new projects and train team members. They help navigate and spearhead efforts to expedite the process of launching new projects, helping our clients get the results they need as fast as possible.

After the network infrastructure has been constructed, homes and businesses need to be connected to utilize broadband access. Fiber Splicers take existing cabling and patch them together. They also provide maintenance to existing infrastructure in case connectivity issues arise. Fiber Splicer Supervisors ensure that splicers are safely performing their duties, as well as correctly splicing network cables together.

This is just a glimpse into the number of roles needed to provide our services to clients.

We train our employees to be the best

For some positions, previous experience or training is not required. We offer training programs for roles such as aerial linemen, underground operators, and fiber splicers that can turn anyone into an industry-leading telecommunications professional. These training programs also act as focal points on our investment into communities as we recruit and train members from the area and equip them with the tools they need to succeed long after the project is finished.

Our training programs are focused on teaching our new hires all of the techniques, strategies, and troubleshooting skills needed to go above and beyond, not just to complete the minimum. These programs are masterfully crafted to offer excellent information to our employees, making them feel more confident about completing their job, all while getting paid. We pay our employees to receive training, not the other way around.

Some positions, including but not limited to supervisor roles and long haul plow operators, do require varying levels of experience in the field.
