Black & Grey HR is recruiting for a leading technology solutions and services provider in Doha Qatar. Our client is looking to hire a Senior Network Technician who will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery operations and maintenance of passive network architecture.
Responsibilities:
Network Systems Delivery
- Lead the end-to-end installation termination testing and certification of UTP fiber optic (single- and multi-core) and structured LAN cabling adhering to TIA/ISO standards and site-specific requirements.
- Execute preventive and corrective maintenance on cabling infrastructure to ensure network availability and compliance with service level agreements.
- Utilize specialized test equipment (e.g. OTDR power meters Fluke testers) to validate performance and generate documentation for acceptance handover and audit trails.
- Conduct comprehensive site surveys and produce detailed reports bills of quantities (BOQs) and material lists for new installations upgrades and maintenance tasks.
- Manage inventory of passive network components (cables patch panels termination kits accessories) to ensure timely availability for all planned activities.
- Design and deploy structured cabling overlays for temporary venues and events ensuring clear segregation from permanent base-build networks.
- Collaborate with active network teams on rack layouts patching plans labeling schemes and IDF/MDF readiness to support project schedules.
- Create update and maintain accurate network drawings (using tools such as AutoCAD/Visio) and patching matrices ensuring they reflect the as-built environment and follow change management protocols.
- Perform patching cable dressing and rack mounting of active devices maintain patch cord organization and provide L1 remote hands support for basic troubleshooting and changes as directed by Network Engineers.
- Ensure all work complies with health safety and environmental (HSE) regulations permit-to-work systems and site rules maintaining a safe and professional work environment.
Communication & Documentation
- Prepare precise technical documentation including site survey reports test reports as-built drawings patching matrices and handover packages.
- Document incident details root causes and corrective actions to support continuous improvement and team knowledge sharing.
- Communicate technical issues work status and requirements effectively to both technical teams (Network Engineers Project Managers) and non-technical stakeholders.
- Provide accurate material estimates cable run details and resource requirements to aid in planning budgeting and procurement.
- Maintain up-to-date records within ticketing and work-order systems ensuring all jobs are properly logged updated and closed with relevant documentation.
Problem Solving Skills
- Diagnose and resolve complex passive network issues (cable faults patching errors fiber breaks performance degradation) using advanced test equipment and systematic troubleshooting methods.
- Analyze recurring faults to identify root causes (design installation material or operational) and recommend sustainable corrective actions.
- Propose and help implement improvements to tools labeling standards testing procedures and documentation to enhance network reliability and reduce incidents.
- Provide on-site technical leadership during major incidents or events coordinating with engineers vendors and operations to restore services within SLAs.
- Proactively identify risks (e.g. cable damage rack congestion) and suggest improvements to increase network stability and ease of maintenance.
Requirements
- Minimum of 10 years of experience in IT infrastructure/network support with substantial hands-on expertise in structured cabling campus LAN and data center environments.
- At least 35 years in a Senior Network Technician or equivalent role with experience managing field teams subcontractors and multiple concurrent work orders.
- Diploma in Computer Science Electronics Telecommunications Electrical or a related field is required.
- A Bachelors degree in Engineering/Technology (Computer Science Electronics or related) is preferred.
- Industry networking certifications (e.g. CCNA HCIA CompTIA Network) are highly desirable.
- Structured cabling certifications (e.g. BICSI Installer/Technician manufacturer certifications from CommScope/Nexans/Leviton or FOA CFOT) are a significant advantage.
- In-depth expertise in passive cabling technologies: UTP/STP fiber optic cabling patch panels LIUs and structured LAN systems.
- Ability to design interpret and review cabling layouts rack elevations and event overlay plans in coordination with Network Engineers and project teams.
