  • Guarantee compliance with ANSI/TIA, BICSI, NEBS, and all customer specifications.
  • Lead testing and commissioning activities including OTDR, power meter validation, labeling standards, and quality assurance protocols.
  • Identify design gaps, field conflicts, or changes; drive RFIs, clarifications, and scope adjustments.
Lead, Mentor & Develop Field Teams
  • Manage large (100+) field technician teams—union or nonunion.
  • Conduct hiring, training, performance evaluations, and career development for onsite personnel.
  • Provide technical coaching and mentorship to accelerate crew capabilities and elevate work quality.
  • Foster a culture grounded in safety, collaboration, accountability, and craftsmanship.
Be the Customer's Trusted Onsite Partner
  • Act as the main construction operations liaison for the client.
  • Participate in customer meetings, site walks, technical discussions, and milestone reviews.
  • Proactively address challenges around workflow, delays, installation issues, or tactical execution.

What You Need to Succeed
Leadership & People Skills
  • Proven ability to lead, motivate, and mentor diverse field teams.
  • Skilled in conflict resolution, workforce planning, and managing competing priorities.
  • Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.
Technical Expertise

  • Mastery of low voltage, fiber, and structured cabling installation for mission critical environments.
