Market Leader, OSP Telecom Construction

Market Leader – Fiber Construction Operations

We are seeking a proven Market Leader to run all fiber construction operations in a major metro market. This is a hands‑on leadership role for a true driver
—someone who delivers results, holds teams accountable, and ensures projects get done on time with no excuses.

This role owns day‑to‑day execution of Outside Plant (OSP) and Inside Plant (ISP/MXU) construction, with a heavy focus on underground fiber, HDD, and splicing operations. You will lead a multi‑disciplinary field organization and be fully accountable for safety, production, and performance across the market.

This is an in‑office leadership role (not remote) with regular field presence.

• Lead all OSP and ISP/MXU construction activity across the market
• Drive on‑time delivery of fiber build programs for major MSO clients
• Own safety, quality, production, and team performance across all crews
• Set clear KPIs and hold managers accountable to schedules and results
• Lead and develop a management team across splicing, drilling, OSP, and MXU
• Maintain strong field presence (minimum 3 site visits per week)
• Partner with PMO and Finance to deliver projects within target margins
• Identify operational gaps and implement process improvements
• Build a culture of urgency, ownership, and accountability

• Hire, train, and develop managers and field leaders
• Direct daily workflow across multiple construction functions
• Conduct performance reviews and manage discipline when needed
• Build a high‑performance, results‑driven team culture

• 5+ years of fiber construction operations leadership experience
• Strong background in underground fiber construction (OSP/ISP/MXU)
• Prior field experience earlier in career (splicing, drilling, construction, or similar)
• Proven ability to lead multi‑layer field organizations and managers
• Highly accountable, deadline‑driven leadership style
• Able to communicate credibly at a technical and executive level
• Comfortable making tough decisions and pushing teams to deliver

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record
• Strong operational, scheduling, and problem‑solving skills
• Proficient with MS Office or Google Workspace
• Must pass background, drug, and motor vehicle screenings

• Office‑based leadership role with frequent field visits
• Local market focus with minimal travel
• Occasional extended hours based on project demands

This role is ideal for a senior construction leader who thrives on ownership, urgency, and building winning operations — not just managing from behind a desk.
