Job description

Ready to take the next step in your career?

Join a long-established utility cooperative that made the move into fiber. With decades of experience delivering reliable and affordable power to homes, businesses, and rural communities. Committed to service over profit, the organization invests in resilient energy infrastructure while supporting the long-term growth and development of the communities it serves.

The organization launched a broadband arm to bring high-speed internet to its service territory. Early feasibility work showed strong demand, and after piloting a hybrid approach the board has since committed fully to a pure FTTH build-out. The venture has already broken even and is now scaling into further build phases, working outward from substation infrastructure already in place.

They're supporting a fast-growing program, and they're looking to bring in dedicated Construction Managers to their team to help run and progress the build.
