Job Description

The OSP Construction Manager plays a key leadership role in ensuring the successful execution of outside plant, underground, and utility construction projects.

In this role, you'll oversee day-to-day construction activities across multiple project sites, working closely with field crews, customers, and internal teams. The position requires approximately 20% travel and offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a government-funded RUS project connecting rural communities to fiber infrastructure.
