You will walk the sites, track crew production, document results, and enforce safety and regulatory requirements. Training is provided; experience in construction, telecom, or fiber is helpful but not required. This role offers regular hours and outdoor work.

Qualifications

• Valid driver's license and an acceptable driving record.
• Live within a reasonable daily drive of the Bellingham, Arlington, and Lake Goodwin area.
• Able to plan your own day, show up at the right site on time, and act on what you see, flagging problems and following up without waiting to be told.

• Comfortable using apps on a phone or laptop to log daily reports, photos, and production numbers.
• Available to work the full schedule, including a couple of evenings a week and about one weekend a month.

Responsibilities

• Oversee and inspect subcontractor work on FTTH projects, including drilling, conduit and fiber placement, and splicing, from pre-construction planning through final closeout.
• Manage relationships with all project stakeholders, including clients, municipalities, property owners, permit holders, and plant owners, and stay in contact with state, county, and city agencies about planned or overlapping projects.
• Lead pre-construction walkouts and meetings, review upcoming projects for roadblocks, and confirm locates are clear and property owner and city requirements are met before crews start.
• Manage crew schedules, including where crews start and when each job is expected to finish, and make sure subcontractors have what they need to keep working.
• Review construction drawings and specifications for constructability and compliance, and make sure field work matches the approved design.
• Perform quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) inspections of workmanship, materials, and progress, and keep accurate inspection reports and construction documentation.
• Track and report daily production and materials to the client, including conduit and fiber placement quantities.
• Identify and report discrepancies in methods, materials, or scope, and work with Project Managers to resolve field issues.
• Identify, quote, and submit change requests for work beyond standard scope, and get approval before that work proceeds.
• Coordinate hard surface restoration with subcontractors, including scheduling and walking it with inspectors.
• Close out projects by walking them with stakeholders, completing a final quality control inspection, and confirming every change request has been submitted and approved.
• Enforce safety policies, client standards, and regulatory requirements on every site.
