- Manage and direct Construction Managers (CMs), inspectors, contractors, and field crews
- Serve as the primary point of accountability for field execution, progress tracking, and quality control
- Develop and maintain detailed project schedules, work plans, and cost tracking using Excel-based tools
- Identify construction risks (permitting, resources, production, safety, materials) and implement mitigation strategies
- Ensure production stays on track and conflicts are resolved quickly in the field
- Hold internal teams, vendors, and contractors accountable for deliverables and timelines
- Provide clear, concise executive-level reporting on construction progress, risks, and forecasted outcomes
- Drive issue resolution within defined time, cost, and scope constraints
Required Qualifications (Non-Negotiable)
- Proven OSP fiber construction project management experience (large-scale network builds)
- Strong field construction knowledge — candidates must be comfortable in active construction environments
- Experience managing CMs, build crews, and subcontractors
- Hands-on expertise with scheduling, reporting, and construction tracking (Excel required)

- Strong communication skills with the ability to present project status to senior leadership
- Willingness and ability to be in the local market at least 3 days per week
Nice to Have (Strongly Preferred)
