Job Description

Construction Manager – Telecommunications / Fiber / OSP

Type: Full-time Contract

Location: Field-based (regional travel required)

About the Role

We’re building broadband networks that connect communities and close the digital divide. As a Construction Manager, you’ll lead field operations for large-scale fiber builds — managing crews, contractors, and schedules to deliver reliable, high-quality networks that last for generations.

You’ll be hands-on in the field, solving problems in real time, ensuring safety standards are met, and keeping projects on track. This is an opportunity to make a measurable impact by helping bring high-speed internet access to areas that need it most.

What You’ll Do

• Manage day-to-day construction for multiple fiber projects (aerial, plow, trench, bore, micro-trench, splice/test).
• Oversee subcontractor performance and ensure work meets design, quality, and permitting standards.
• Coordinate with project managers, engineers, and field inspectors.
• Review daily production reports, material usage, and as-built documentation.
• Ensure compliance with all safety, environmental, and permitting regulations.
• Track budgets, schedules, and change orders.
• Support a safety-first culture across all field operations.

What You Bring

• 10+ years of progressive experience in OSP fiber construction management.
• Proven experience overseeing FTTH, middle-mile, or long-haul projects.
• Strong knowledge of OSP construction methods — aerial, trench, bore, splice, and fiber testing.
• Familiarity with ROW and permitting processes (DOT, BLM, USFS, Railroad, County, Municipal).
• Skilled at coordinating multiple crews and subcontractors.
• Proficient with Microsoft Office and digital field reporting tools.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Valid driver’s license; ability to travel regionally.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with GPON/XGS-PON builds.
• OSHA 10/30 certification.
• Familiarity with OSP mapping or construction management software (Vetro, 3GIS, Smartsheet, OSPInsight).

Why Join Us

• Be part of a mission-driven team expanding broadband access to underserved communities.
• Work in a collaborative, safety-focused environment where every team member’s contribution matters.
• Lead impactful projects that improve how people live, learn, and connect.
