Techforce Telecom Hiring for Cisco IP installation (Analog experience required) Job at North Chicago, IL Full Time

Analog Portion of the Project:

The overall objective of the project is to displace legacy telephone systems (such as an NEC SV8300) with Cisco Call Managers. We need assistance with moving the analog extensions from the legacy system to the Cisco.

Necessary skills:

Physically install Cisco VG450 chassis in equipment rack and mechanically label per specifications; quantity depends on site

Install preterminated fiber jumpers and/or copper ethernet connections up to 75′ from each VG to core network switch; the pathway is typically either a false floor or drop-in tile ceiling

Install 25-pair amphenol cables from VG450 to cross connect wall field. The wall filed is typically no more than 50’ from the equipment rack and the pathway is typically either a false floor or drop-in tile ceiling. (6) 25-pair amphenol cables per VG450

Install 110, 66, or BIX connector blocks; terminate 25-pair amphenol cables to blocks; and mechanically label blocks

Using provided extension and port spreadsheet (“cut sheet”), identify existing analog extensions on legacy connector blocks and move cross connect to corresponding extension port on Cisco connector blocks. Using a butt-set the technician will test the analog extension (at the old and new connector block) before and after the cross connect move. New cross connect will be ran for each extension. 144 cross connects per VG450

Basic troubleshooting of any extension that did not come back up after move; assist in POC post-UAT

Perform post-installation site cleanup and remove waste from site

Document all lines tested and moved in the cutsheet as well as capture pictures of completed work

Techs will be expected to have standard telecom tools (punch tool, scissors, butt sett, toner & probe, etc.), cellphone with camera, and a laptop. There will be site meetings at the beginning of each workday so that all instructions are clear, but Greenbrier will also assign a PM so technicians will have a direct POC to work with throughout each workday. Usual pace is >100 lines per day minimum.

We typically have definite dates and VG counts a month out from first day of onsite install.
