Project Manager, Systems Engineer, Telecoms Engineering

Actio Net has an immediate opening for a Program Manager with 7+ years of experience leading IT, procurement, logistics, and network infrastructure projects—wireless network experience is preferred.

The Program Manager will lead execution and scaling of a Telecommunications Utility and Grid initiative supporting large-scale telecommunications infrastructure modernization and sustainment.

This role integrates outside plant (OSP) and premise cabling telecommunications infrastructure modernization, governance alignment (Roles & Responsibilities framework), sustainment operations, facility power integration, and deployment of an Operational Digital Twin (ODT). The Program Manager ensures alignment across infrastructure stakeholders, operational teams, and industry partners.

This is a critical infrastructure leadership role — not a traditional IT program management position.
