Some days you're walking job sites, checking progress and clearing roadblocks with clients and cities. Other days you're at your desk with the numbers.

Safety comes first on every project, and you set that standard.

This role is for someone with 5+ years in OSP telecom who knows fiber prints, underground drilling, and aerial placement, and has spent at least 2 years managing projects and the budgets behind them.
