About the role:

Our client is looking for an experienced Quality Inspector specialising in fiber optic network deployments to oversee and ensure the quality of home connections and civil works. This role is critical in maintaining high standards across fiber optic projects, from excavation to installation and testing.

Start: October 2024

Location: Amsterdam

Rate: Negotiable

Duration: Freelance 2-3 Years with potential to extend.

Fiber Optic Installations - Inspect fiber optic connections within homes, verifying compliance with technical standards and installation best practices, including tasks such as fiber blowing, splicing, and HAS (Home Access Solution).

Adherence to Standards - Ensure all work aligns with relevant fiber optic standards and the client's specifications, particularly KPN standards if applicable.

Quality Assurance Testing - Perform or oversee testing using OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) and Power Meter equipment to evaluate fiber signal strength, attenuation, and overall network performance.

Reporting & Documentation - Compile comprehensive digital reports that may include daily logs, quality control checks, non-conformance reports (NCRs), and any corrective actions taken. You'll also contribute to initial and ongoing quality assessments for all project phases.

Homeowner Interaction - For home connections, interact with residents, explaining the work being done and ensuring minimal disruption while maintaining high customer service standards. Conversational Dutch is highly preferred.
