Overview
Our client is seeking a highly experienced Senior Construction Program / Project Manager (PM) with deep, hands‑on field knowledge of Fiber to the Home (FTTH) construction. This role oversees day‑to‑day field activities, ensures construction quality, and drives successful delivery of fiber builds across New Jersey.

  • Lead and manage FTTH construction activities including conduit installation, fiber placement, splicing, and restoration.
  • Interpret and work from construction prints, fiber design packages, and redlines.
  • Oversee and coordinate field crews, subcontractors, and technicians to ensure safe, efficient, and high‑quality work.
  • Conduct site walks, verify as‑builts, and ensure adherence to project specifications and industry standards.
  • Monitor project timelines, production goals, and daily progress; escalate risks or delays as needed.
  • Ensure compliance with local permitting, right‑of‑way requirements, and utility coordination.
  • Track materials, equipment needs, and job readiness for assigned work zones.
  • Provide regular reporting to leadership on construction status, issues, and milestones.
What will catch our eye:
  • 7 + years of experience in fiber construction, FTTH builds, or OSP field management.
  • Experience in managing project financials, including P&L responsibility.
  • Strong, proven field experience — must understand the work, the crews, and the day‑to‑day realities of OSP construction.
  • Previous experience with a General Contractor (GC) is strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of conduit construction, fiber placement methods, and splicing workflows.
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, fiber maps, and splice documentation.
  • Proven experience managing field technicians or subcontractor crews.
  • Knowledge of OSP construction standards, safety practices, and quality control.
  • Strong communication, problem‑solving, and field‑based decision‑making skills.
  • Valid driver’s license and ability to travel locally throughout New Jersey.
  • Experience with FTTH deployments for ISPs, utilities, or engineering firms.
  • Familiarity with make-ready, permitting, and utility coordination.
  • Background in OSP inspection, QC, or construction auditing.
