About the Role

We’re building broadband networks that connect communities and close the digital divide. As a Construction Manager, you’ll lead field operations for large-scale fiber builds — managing crews, contractors, and schedules to deliver reliable, high-quality networks that last for generations.

  • Oversee subcontractor performance and ensure work meets design, quality, and permitting standards.
  • Coordinate with project managers, engineers, and field inspectors.
  • Review daily production reports, material usage, and as-built documentation.
  • Ensure compliance with all safety, environmental, and permitting regulations.
  • Track budgets, schedules, and change orders.
  • Support a safety-first culture across all field operations.

What You Bring

  • 10+ years of progressive experience in OSP fiber construction management.
  • Proven experience overseeing FTTH, middle-mile, or long-haul projects.
  • Strong knowledge of OSP construction methods — aerial, trench, bore, splice, and fiber testing.
  • Familiarity with ROW and permitting processes (DOT, BLM, USFS, Railroad, County, Municipal).
  • Skilled at coordinating multiple crews and subcontractors.
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office and digital field reporting tools.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Valid driver’s license; ability to travel regionally.

    • Nice to Have :

  • Experience with GPON / XGS-PON builds.
  • OSHA 10 / 30 certification.
  • Familiarity with OSP mapping or construction management software (Vetro, 3GIS, Smartsheet, OSPInsight).

    • Why Join Us

  • Be part of a mission-driven team expanding broadband access to underserved communities.
  • Work in a collaborative, safety-focused environment where every team member’s contribution matters.
  • Lead impactful projects that improve how people live, learn, and connect.
