Ensure that home or offices are properly wired to receive cable TV.
Set up and deploy digital and analogue electronic communications. Understand electronic diagrams and equipment specifications.
Set up and configure devices which enhance strength of signal of a communication channel to enable proper reception and reproduction in further places.
Log transmitter observations such as calibrations of remote control equipment, equipment performance measurements, antenna field strength measurements, and other readings.
Apply assigning methods (mostly used in call centres) to provide clients with the best possible service by connecting them with the most suitable agent.
Operate and use construction equipment, such as digger derricks, backhoes, track hoes, front-end loaders, trenchers, or cable ploughs.
Tend a wide variety of devices for measuring electronic characteristics of system components, such as optical power meter, fibre power meter, digital power meter and multimeter.
Handle Private Branch Exchange (PBX), a telecommunication system within an organisation that switches calls between users on local lines. At the same time the system allows all users to share external phone lines.
Use radios that can receive and transmit sound signals in order to communicate with similar radios on the same frequency such as mobile phones and walkie talkies.
Set up, test and operate different types of communication equipment such as transmission equipment, digital network equipment, or telecommunications equipment.
Manage calls during a given voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) session and ensure security and quality of service by operating a session border controller (SBC).
Respond to and communicate with customers in the most efficient and appropriate manner to enable them to access the desired products or services, or any other help they may require.
Produce accurate calculations on time necessary to fulfil future technical tasks based on past and present information and observations or plan the estimated duration of individual tasks in a given project.
Plan, deploy, troubleshoot and test low voltage wiring.
Tend mechanical devices that allow momentary access to high, usually inaccessible areas. Ensure your own safety and the safety of surrounding people.
Use electronic devices or software tone generators that produce digital or analog repeating or non-repeating electronic signals in order to design, test and repair electronic and acoustic equipment.
Find faults in wires or cables by using specialised equipment and repair these faults depending on type of wiring.
Fasten and insulate electric or communications wires or cables.
Operate and use soldering tools and soldering iron, which supply high temperatures to melt the solder and to join electronic components.
Join and weave electric and communications cable and trunk lines together.

Create and manage a system of backup or standby solution which is automatically triggered and becomes active in case the main system or application fails.
Evaluate problems in telecommunication infrastructure by using specialised methods, applications and tools to find weaknesses and stress points in a network and elements of the infrastructure regarding aspects such as electronics, power supply and temperature.
Provide support and advice to customers in making purchasing decisions by finding out their needs, selecting suitable service and products for them and politely answering questions about products and services.
Download, install and update a network security system designed to prevent unauthorized access to a private network.
Create an encrypted connection between private networks, such as different local networks of a company, over the internet to ensure that only authorized users can access it and that the data cannot be intercepted.
Download, install and update software to prevent, detect and remove malicious software, such as computer viruses.
Implement statements, assertions or rules that specify the appropriate use and protection of the ICT assets and systems from an organisation. These ICT security policies cover topics such as data classification, password management, access control and incident response.
Apply Internet Protocol Configuration (ipconfig) to gather data on Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) configuration values in order to identify devices and their IP addresses.
