About The Role
As our Lead Data Cabling Engineer (Fibre & Copper), you'll install fibre and copper cabling in multi-tenant commercial buildings across London. You'll start with tenant installations: running fibre from the riser into a tenant's demise, then installing the network hardware, wireless access points and other devices that connect to it.
From there, you'll take on full building deployments. Our buildings typically have fibre running from a comms cabinet in the basement to splice boxes in the risers on each floor, all labelled and branded.
You'll test, label and document every installation, train the junior engineers who work alongside you, and report to our Project Manager.
Responsibilities
- Installing, terminating and testing fibre optic and copper (Cat6/Cat6A) cabling
- Running fibre from riser splice boxes into tenant demises
- Installing building fibre from basement comms cabinets to splice boxes in the risers on each floor, labelled and branded to our standard
- Installing and patching network hardware such as switches, routers and firewalls (no configuration required, and we'll train you on the kit)
- Installing wireless access points and other network-connected devices
- Dressing, labelling and finishing every installation to an exceptional standard
- Testing every installation and completing the documentation for it
- Training and developing junior engineers, who will work alongside you on site
- Working with our external cabling partners on larger jobs
- Keeping sites safe, clean and tidy
