Market Leader – Fiber Construction Operations
We are seeking a proven Market Leader to run all fiber construction operations in a major metro market. This is a hands-on leadership role for a true driver — someone who delivers results, holds teams accountable, and ensures projects get done on time with no excuses.
This role owns day-to-day execution of Outside Plant (OSP) and Inside Plant (ISP/MXU) construction, with a heavy focus on underground fiber, HDD, and splicing operations. You will lead a multi-disciplinary field organization and be fully accountable for safety, production, and performance across the market.
