• Partner with business development and property management entities to secure required site access, manage engineering walkthroughs, and resolve complex Right‑of‑Way (ROW) issues specific to private property.
• Directly supervise internal field technicians, construction supervisors, and external placement/splicing subcontractors while maintaining a high‑performance safety culture adhering to OSHA and company regulations.
• Manage project and market budgets, approve subcontractor invoices, track material yields (conduit, microduct, fiber optic cabling), and report on key production metrics.
• Conduct systematic quality audits of completed work to ensure strict compliance with North Sky engineering expectations, customer standard operating procedures, and local building/National Electrical Code (NEC) standards.
• Act as the primary point of contact for regional telecom clients, providing clear data on project milestones, material tracking, and production forecasting.

• 5+ years of dedicated experience in telecommunications construction management, network deployment, or field engineering – specifically focusing on MDU/MTU environments.
• 2+ years of experience managing field crews, construction supervisors, or multi‑disciplinary project teams in an OSP/ISP utility construction setting.
• Strong operational knowledge of fiber‑to‑the‑home (FTTH/FTTP) architectures, structured cabling, pathway design (conduit, core drilling, microtrenching), and optical fiber splicing/testing practices.
• Ability to interpret detailed engineering schematics, construction prints, base maps, and property blueprints.
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record is required for regular travel to regional construction sites and property meetings.

Preferred Qualifications

• OSHA 30‑Hour Construction certification.
• Familiarity with proprietary customer management platforms and project mapping tools (ArcGIS, SpatialData, or custom design suites).
