Cabling Systems Technician

Description

• Ensure all designs and installations comply with federal, DHS, and USCIS standards, including TIA/EIA, NEC, and applicable building codes.
• Collaborate with network engineering teams, facilities management, and contractors to integrate cabling infrastructure with broader network architecture during deployments, upgrades, and relocations.
• Conduct site assessments and engineering surveys, producing detailed technical documentation such as as-built drawings, labeling schemas, and performance test reports.
• Respond to service requests and incident tickets with minimal operational impact, applying structured troubleshooting methodologies.
• Recommend infrastructure enhancements and performance optimizations based on engineering analysis and emerging technologies.
• Support configuration management, change control, and project documentation in alignment with USCIS engineering processes.
• Senior Engineer / Subject Matter Expert: Operates independently, leads multi-site projects, and ensures compliance with USCIS/DHS protocols.
• Engineer and maintain telecommunications infrastructure, including routers, switches, VoIP platforms, and associated network hardware, with a focus on reliability and security.
• Perform root-cause analysis and advanced troubleshooting of connectivity issues (signal degradation, EMI/RFI interference, grounding, and cross-talk), applying engineering principles to resolve complex problems.
• Manage inventory control and lifecycle tracking of cabling materials, tools, and specialized equipment.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers and technicians; enforce quality assurance and adherence to safety and compliance standards.
• Execute preventive maintenance programs and diagnostic evaluations for voice/data cabling and related systems to ensure operational continuity.
• Design, implement, and validate structured cabling systems for copper and fiber optics, including racks, patch panels, conduits, and termination points, ensuring optimal performance and scalability.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in telecommunications engineering, with at least 3 years in a senior or lead capacity.
• Working knowledge of network topologies, IP-based communication systems, and integration of voice, data, and video services.
• High school diploma or GED required; technical degree or engineering certifications preferred.
• Experience in federal environments (DHS, USCIS) and secure facilities (SCIFs).
• Strong ability to interpret technical drawings, wiring diagrams, and site plans; familiarity with power distribution, grounding, and bonding principles.
• Proficiency with engineering tools and instrumentation, including OTDR, cable analyzers, fiber fusion splicing equipment, and labeling systems.
• U.S. Citizenship and ability to obtain/maintain DHS/USCIS clearance.
• Expertise in VoIP, PBX systems, and network rack integration.
• Physical capability to lift up to 50 lbs., climb ladders, and work in confined or elevated spaces.
• Expert knowledge of structured cabling standards (TIA/EIA-568, 569, 606, 607), fiber/copper termination techniques, and certification/testing protocols.
• BICSI Certification (Technician, RCDD, or equivalent).
• Occasional travel to USCIS field offices or remote facilities required.
• Familiarity with cable management in controlled-access environments.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and documentation skills; ability to lead cross-functional teams.
