Hands-on Work \| Outdoor Environment \| High-Demand Trade \| Career Growth Are you the kind of person who shows up, works hard, and takes pride in doing the job right? Do you like working outdoors, using your hands, and being part of a crew that gets real work done? If you're reliable, coachable, and not afraid of physical labor, this could be the perfect trade for you. We're looking for an OSP Fiber Puller to join a field crew responsible for installing the fiberoptic cable that powers today's communications networks. This is essential, skill-based work with long-term career potential. What You'll Be Doing You'll be part of the team that installs fiber through underground conduit systems across job sites, including: Fiber Pulling & Installation * Pulling and routing fiberoptic cables through conduit, duct banks, vaults, and manholes * Using winches, spools, pulltape, and mechanical equipment for long-distance pulls * Handling fiber carefully to avoid bends, twists, or damage Field & Job Site Operations * Working alongside an OSP crew to guide cable through pathways and access points * Managing cable staging, tool organization, and site prep * Helping identify snags or blockages in conduit and assisting with clearing them Safety & Compliance * Using PPE and following all OSP safety protocols * Working in outdoor environments, confined spaces, trenches, and construction zones * Setting up barricades and signage when working in public right-of-way areas What Makes You a Strong Fit This role is for people who show up ready to work every day and want to build a skillset that lasts. Required * Experience with physically demanding work (construction, telecom, labor, etc.) * Ability to lift and move heavy cable reels and pull over long distances * Comfortable using hand tools, cutters, spools, winches, etc. * Able to work outdoors in all weather * Can climb 8-10 ft ladders when needed * Strong communication + ability to follow direction * Must have a vehicle for jobsite travel * Must have a credit card for reimbursable expenses * OSHA 10 (or willingness to get it) Preferred * Previous fiber pulling or OSP telecom construction experience * Knowledge of conduit systems, duct banks, and pull-tape readings * Basic understanding of fiber cable types + bend radius Who This Job Is Not For We'll be direct - these are the most common reasons techs don't last: * Not showing up or calling in last minute * Showing up late * Being on the phone all day * Poor attitude or dragging down the crew If that's you, this isn't your job. If you're dependable and hardworking - you'll thrive. What to Expect * Mostly outdoor work * Underground and OSP environments * Construction sites, commercial properties, and public right-of-way areas * Physical work, long hours at times, and weekly travel to job sites Why This Role Matters Fiber is the backbone of the modern world - and you'll be part of the crew that builds it. This is a trade you can grow in, take pride in, and turn into a long-term career. If you want a job where your hard work actually matters - and you're ready to join a crew that respects effort and reliability - we want to talk to you.
