Description:

Join the Team That’s Building the Future of Fiber!

Zero dB Communications (ZdB) is one of the West Coast’s fastest-growing full-turnkey fiber optic contractors. Founded in 2011 and led by Zach Kuhlmann, we’ve built a reputation for delivering high-quality design, engineering, construction, splicing, and testing across the western United States. With 90+ years of combined OSP experience, our team knows how to build networks that perform today and stand strong tomorrow.

From FTTH and Metro-E to long-haul P2P, data center builds, and 24/7 emergency response, we take on the industry’s toughest projects—and we do them right. If you want to join a team known for precision, reliability, and tackling complex fiber challenges, ZdB is where you belong.

The primary responsibility of the Project Coordinator (PC) is to oversee project planning from initiation through completion, and organizing and monitoring all department approved projects. The PC will support daily operations for fiber optic construction projects; ensuring crews, materials, locates, permits, and customer requirements are aligned and executed on schedule. This role is the communication hub between field crews, construction managers, vendors, inspectors, and customers. Success in this position requires strong organization, urgency, accuracy, and the ability to manage multiple moving parts in a high-volume construction environment. Additional responsibilities include but are not limited to managing project task scope and defined timelines, while adhering to budget and quality organizational standards. The PC will be expected to demonstrate skills such as attention to detail, willingness to learn and be able to complete new tasks as needs change, as well as an ability to prioritize workloads.

This position will be reporting to our office in Spokane, WA.
