Job Description

Who We Are

ROHL Global Networks Inc. is a diversified infrastructure company based in Western Canada, with expanding operations across North America. Originally established as a leading provider of telecommunications and utility infrastructure design and construction, ROHL has strategically grown into real estate development and management, solar energy systems, and power infrastructure, serving enterprise, government, and wholesale clients.


From building fiber optic and high-voltage systems to delivering solar farms and enabling AI-driven data centers and EV infrastructure, ROHL plays a critical role in powering the future of Canada’s built environment.


We are seeking experienced Fiber Splicer / Network Maintenance Technicians to support both our ongoing fiber construction projects and the operation and maintenance of our own 1,200 km fiber network, including our head office and remote points of presence (PoPs).

The Role

This hands-on role will support both outside plant (OSP) and inside plant (ISP) activities, with responsibilities including fiber splicing and testing, underground locates, optical equipment installation, network troubleshooting and preventative maintenance, and DC power plant maintenance.


The ideal candidate will be comfortable working across the full physical layer of a fiber network—from supporting new fiber builds and project installations in the field, to maintaining, repairing, and optimizing our existing network infrastructure and equipment.



Key Responsibilities:


Outside Plant (OSP)

  • Perform fiber optic splicing (fusion and mechanical) on aerial, underground, and buried fiber infrastructure

  • Perform Underground Utility Locates
  • Coordinate with locate services, contractors, and municipalities as required for civil work near the fiber network
  • GPS data Collection for network civil works


    • Inside Plant (ISP)

  • Terminate and test fiber patch panels, distribution frames, and cross-connects
  • Perform equipment rack installations, cable management, and labeling to company standards
  • Support commissioning and acceptance testing for new equipment and network builds


    • DC Power Plant / Electrical

  • Maintain and troubleshoot DC power plants, rectifiers, and battery backup systems supporting network equipment
  • Perform routine inspections, load testing, and preventive maintenance on power infrastructure
  • Identify and safely resolve electrical faults within scope of certification/license
  • Ensure power plant work complies with applicable electrical codes and regulatory standards


    • General

  • Maintain accurate records of work performed, test results, and as-built documentation
  • Follow all safety protocols for working at heights, confined spaces, live electrical systems, and traffic control
  • Participate in an on-call rotation for network emergency response
  • Collaborate with network engineering, planning, and security teams as needed
  • Travel and long stays away from home on projects possible


    • Physical Requirements

    • Ability to lift up to 75 lbs, climb ladders/poles, and work in confined underground vaults
    • Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions


    What You Bring

  • Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience in fiber optic splicing, testing, and troubleshooting is preferred.
  • Demonstrated experience installing, commissioning, and troubleshooting optical transmission equipment.
  • Practical experience working with DC power systems, including rectifiers, batteries, and distribution systems.
  • Strong working knowledge of fiber optic test equipment, including OTDRs, optical power meters, and fault-locating tools.
  • Experience with FTTH network design and documentation, including KMZ and/or GIS-based tools, is considered an asset.

  • Ability to safely work at heights, in confined spaces, and outdoors in varying weather conditions.
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and effectively with minimal supervision.
  • Self-motivated, dependable, and able to manage priorities across both field and network environments.
