Job Description
HNM Systems is the leading tech-enabled professional services provider, shaping the workforce across the telecom, energy, and technology sectors. We connect top specialized talent with direct hire, contract-to-hire, and consulting opportunities that drive fiber expansion, digital infrastructure, wireless networks, and smart grid energy solutions. Our innovative approach delivers high-impact workforce development and consulting outcomes, with a 94% success rate in talent placement and project execution. Relentlessly people-driven, HNM Systems sets the industry standard through an unwavering commitment to exceptional employee experience, establishing a trusted home base for our consultants and long-term value for our clients.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is a long-term, field-driven opportunity supporting critical broadband infrastructure in an active HFC network environment. The role offers steady work, hands-on technical responsibility, and exposure to both coax and fibre systems. Professionals in this position gain valuable experience in system optimisation, node work, and live network maintenance while contributing to reliable connectivity in a major U.S. market.
Overview
We are seeking experienced Coax Splicers to support a Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) network project in the Buffalo, NY area. This role focuses on maintaining, upgrading, and troubleshooting coaxial infrastructure within an active network environment. The ideal candidate brings strong technical expertise, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in the field.
Key Responsibilities
Perform coaxial cable splicing, activation, and maintenance within HFC networks
Troubleshoot signal issues using meters and diagnostic tools (SNR, RF levels, ingress/egress)
Read and interpret system prints, maps, and schematics
Perform node splits, balancing, and system optimisation
Test and verify signal quality to ensure network performance standards are met
Work in both aerial and underground environments, including bucket trucks and confined spaces
Maintain accurate documentation of completed work and network updates
Adhere to all safety standards and project procedures
All other duties as assigned.
Required Qualifications
Minimum of 2 years of coax splicing experience within HFC networks
Strong understanding of RF theory and DOCSIS systems
Experience using signal level meters (VIAVI, Trilithic, or equivalent)
Ability to read and interpret network design prints and maps
Experience working in aerial and/or underground construction environments
Valid driver’s licence with a clean driving record
Ability to work in various weather conditions and lift up to 50 lbs
Preferred Qualifications
Experience supporting MSO networks (e.g., major cable providers)
Prior fibre experience, including node work or basic fibre handling
Bucket truck certification
Work Environment / Additional Information
Field-based role within the Buffalo, NY market
Combination of independent and team-based work
Overtime may be available based on project needs
