• Conduct loop checks, signal continuity testing, insulation resistance testing, and fiber optic OTDR/attenuation measurements.
• Troubleshoot, isolate, and remediate technical faults across telecom field devices, media converters, and system control panels to ensure high availability.
• Adhere rigorously to industrial Oil & Gas Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) standards, Job Safety Analyses (JSA), and Permit to Work (PTW) systems.
• Maintain daily site progress logs, red‑line drawing updates, punch‑list clearance reports, and technical handover documentation.
