Construction Manager

About Us

Stimulus Technologies is a leader in technology services, dedicated to bridging the digital divide in underserved communities. With operations across California, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oregon, we deliver high‑speed, reliable connectivity that transforms lives and businesses. We also offer IT, VoIP, and Cyber Security services to a range of clients. As we expand our reach, we seek an experienced executive to oversee broadband operations, lead cross‑functional teams, and drive network deployment excellence across the western United States.

As the owner's representative in the field, the Construction Manager holds direct authority over all field construction activities across Stimulus's broadband and fiber projects. This includes managing Stimulus‑employed Resident Engineers, overseeing third‑party contractors, and serving as the primary point of accountability between field operations, the engineering firm, and the project management team.

Deployment projects include SLFRF, FFA grants, and BEAD‑funded fiber deployments across rural Nevada, Missouri, California, and Oregon, with hard regulatory timelines and high visibility. The Construction Manager is the person who ensures those commitments are met, safely, on schedule, within budget, and to spec.

For the right candidate, this is a rare chance to join a growth‑stage broadband company at an inflection point, bring genuine expertise to a team that will act on it, and build something that lasts.
