This leader will guide a team responsible for developing scalable network designs that support continued broadband expansion across multiple markets.

The role requires a strategic leader who can build effective engineering processes, maintain strong relationships with municipalities and regulatory bodies, and ensure engineering activities support construction timelines and long‑term network performance.

• Lead all outside plant engineering functions including fiber network design, field engineering, drafting, and permitting coordination.
• Manage and develop an engineering organization consisting of internal staff and third‑party design partners.
• Ensure engineering deliverables are accurate, complete, and aligned with construction schedules.
• Develop and maintain a pipeline of engineering work to support ongoing network build programs.
• Oversee planning and management of fiber capacity and network routing.
• Implement processes that maintain consistency, quality, and efficiency across engineering deliverables.
• Build relationships with municipalities, utilities, and other governing bodies to support permitting and right‑of‑way approvals.
• Coordinate closely with construction, operations, and vendor teams to ensure smooth project execution.
• Monitor key operational metrics related to engineering output, project readiness, and cost efficiency.
• Provide leadership, mentorship, and performance management for engineering staff.

The Director will lead a growing engineering organization consisting of design engineers, permitting professionals, and administrative support personnel. The team includes both direct and indirect reports supporting the overall outside plant engineering function.

• 8+ years of experience in telecommunications, outside plant engineering, or fiber network construction
• Demonstrated experience managing engineering teams and supporting large‑scale infrastructure deployments
• Strong understanding of fiber network architecture and outside plant design principles
• Experience working with permitting processes and municipal stakeholders
• Ability to lead multiple concurrent initiatives in a fast‑paced environment
• Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or a related discipline
• Experience with engineering and network design platforms such as GIS, CAD, ESRI, Vetro, or similar tools

This position offers the opportunity to play a key leadership role in the development and expansion of next‑generation fiber infrastructure while building and shaping a growing engineering organization.
