The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Fibre Splice & Test Engineer to join a growing engineering team in Sweden, supporting the installation, testing, commissioning and maintenance of fibre optic networks across telecommunications, data centre and mission-critical environments.

You must live under an hour from a mainland Swedish aiport!

This is an exciting opportunity for a technically skilled engineer with strong experience in fibre fusion splicing, OTDR testing, optical characterisation and fault diagnosis.

As a Fibre Splice & Test Engineer, you will work across a variety of customer sites and projects throughout Sweden, ensuring fibre infrastructure is installed, tested and delivered to the highest quality and industry standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare, splice and terminate single-mode and multi-mode fibre optic cables.

• Carry out fusion splicing on loose-tube, ribbon, armoured and non-armoured fibre cables.

• Perform fibre testing using OTDRs, optical power meters, light sources and certification equipment.

• Conduct optical characterisation testing, including insertion loss, reflectance, optical return loss (ORL) and CD/PMD where required.

• Inspect, clean and validate fibre connector end faces using specialist inspection equipment.

• Diagnose and resolve fibre faults, transmission issues and out-of-specification test results.

• Interpret fibre route drawings, splice plans, network schematics and technical documentation.

• Produce accurate test reports, splice schedules, red-line drawings and as-built documentation.

• Support installation, commissioning, migration and break-fix activities across data centres, carrier networks and customer premises.

• Collaborate with project managers, customers and engineering teams to resolve technical challenges.

• Ensure all work complies with health and safety procedures and customer requirements.

Skills & Experience Required

To be successful as a Fibre Splice & Test Engineer, you should demonstrate:

• Proven experience in fibre optic splicing and testing within telecommunications, data centre or mission-critical environments.

• Strong knowledge of single-mode and multi-mode fibre infrastructure, including ISP and OSP networks.

• Hands-on experience with fusion splicers, cleavers, OTDRs, optical power meters, light sources and fibre inspection equipment.

• Ability to interpret OTDR traces, analyse optical loss results and identify corrective actions.

• Good understanding of fibre connectors, splice enclosures, patch panels and optical distribution frames.

• Experience reading technical drawings and producing accurate test documentation.

• Strong fault-finding, troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities.

• Excellent attention to detail, communication skills and a professional approach to customer-facing work.

• Ability to work independently, manage workloads and travel to customer sites across Sweden.

Qualifications & Certifications

Essential:

• Fibre optic cabling qualification, such as City & Guilds 3667, or equivalent practical experience.

• Valid driving licence appropriate for working in Sweden.

Desirable:

• CSCS/ECS card, NRSWA accreditation, BICSI certification or relevant equivalent qualifications.

• Previous experience working within data centres, carrier networks or colocation facilities.

• Working-at-height, ladder safety or other relevant site safety certifications.

• Experience with advanced optical characterisation, including CD/PMD testing.

About You

We are seeking a reliable, proactive and quality-driven engineer who takes pride in delivering technically accurate work.

You will be comfortable working in demanding technical environments, troubleshooting complex fibre issues and supporting projects to tight deadlines.

Flexibility to travel throughout Sweden, work shifts or provide occasional out-of-hours support may be required depending on project demands.
