Central office equipment installers set up switching and dialing equipment. This equipment is used in the central office of a telephone company. They install equipment in new offices and replace old equipment. Central office craft workers maintain and repair the equipment. They may specialize in frame wiring, central office repair, or troubleshooting.
Some experienced workers have many skills.
Small companies consider them especially valuable. Installers and repairers may handle special cases such as complaints to public service commissions. They may also have to deal with illegal or unauthorized use of equipment, and electric or acoustic shocks. Technologies Career Cluster.
