How we count

These counts cover the fiber splicer jobs listed on FiberCrew as of September 23, 2026. We open each employer's own posting before a job goes up and re-check every listing weekly, so closed jobs drop out.

A traveling job is one where travel is a regular part of the work: 25% or more, "traveling" in the title, or out-of-state or nationwide projects. We record pay, travel and per diem only as the posting states them. We never estimate.
