FREQUENTLY ASKED

Do I need my own fusion splicer?
Not necessarily. Tell us what equipment you own. Some projects supply splicers; on others, splicers with their own equipment are paid more.
Is housing really paid?
Yes. Lodging near the site, travel to and from site, and per diem are paid on traveling projects.
What if I only have single-fiber experience?
Apply anyway. There is plenty of single-fiber work, and we can pair you with ribbon splicers on larger projects.
