Responsibilities

• Oversee daily operations of multiple construction crews
• Coordinate work plans, job site logistics, and daily production targets
• Work directly with inspectors, contractors, and project leadership
• Ensure work is completed safely and meets project specifications
• Review daily progress, production reports, and redlines
• Solve problems in the field so crews can continue working without delays
• Ensure crews have the materials, equipment, and direction needed to stay productive
• Maintain strong safety standards across all crews and job sites

Qualifications

• Experience supervising crews in utility, telecom, or powerline construction
• Strong understanding of pole setting, anchors, pole transfers, and make-ready construction
• Ability to manage multiple crews and job locations
• Comfortable working directly with inspectors and contractors
• Strong leadership and communication skills
• OSHA 10 required
• OSHA 30 preferred
• Valid driver’s license

Gas reimbursement is provided for travel related to job site operations.

If you have experience running crews and understand how utility construction projects operate in the field, we want to hear from you.
