  • Manage subcontractors and internal crews across multiple active projects
  • Drive delivery against production targets, timelines, and quality standards
  • Coordinate materials, equipment, and workforce allocation
  • Track project progress, budgets, and reporting metrics
  • Ensure compliance with client specifications and local regulations
  • Maintain accurate as-built documentation and project closeout

Skills/Must have:

  • 5+ years in OSP construction, with a management background.
  • Strong knowledge of coax and fiber construction, including underground boring tactics, ability to read prints, as-built mapping.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel) and Smartsheet.
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and maps.

Benefits:

  • Company vehicle and fuel card
  • Insurance Allowance ($1,000 per month)
  • 401(k) after 90 days
  • Paid time off
