Fiber Senior Construction Manager
The Senior Construction Manager – Fiber is responsible for leading construction execution from preconstruction and mobilization through installation, fiber placement, splicing/testing, restoration, closeout, and client acceptance. This individual will coordinate, supervise, and independently drive field execution across hyperscale/data-center connectivity, long-haul and middle-mile routes, ISP/FTTH/FTTx, metro fiber, and other turnkey OSP programs.
This position is intended for an experienced construction operator—not a reporting-only manager. Acting independently with limited supervision, the selected individual must convert the master schedule and build plan into daily field execution, resolve roadblocks, validate progress, enforce quality and safety expectations, protect project schedule and cost, and communicate effectively with clients and cross-functional teams.
The role is expected to grow in responsibility as DOG Fiber’s project volume and construction organization expand. The successful individual should demonstrate the technical depth, client leadership, people-development capability, and operational and financial discipline expected of a future Director of Construction.:
