About the Role

We are seeking a driven and experienced Construction Supervisor to lead daily field operations for underground and aerial telecommunications projects.

This position is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys problem-solving in the field, and takes pride in delivering high-quality infrastructure projects. You'll play a key role in coordinating teams, managing resources, and ensuring safe, efficient execution across multiple job sites.

What You'll Be Doing

1. Crew Leadership & Site Management

• Supervise and support aerial and underground construction crews, including operators, laborers, linemen, and locators
• Lead daily tailgate meetings to communicate project goals, safety expectations, and work plans
• Mentor and coach team members while holding crews accountable for production, safety, and quality standards
• Collaborate with foremen and field staff to meet or exceed production targets

2. Safety & Compliance

• Ensure proper use of PPE, fall protection, trench safety systems, and traffic control measures
• Identify and address jobsite hazards, near misses, and incidents
• Maintain authority to stop work if unsafe conditions arise
• Complete and review safety documentation such as JHAs and pre-job briefings
• Conduct frequent jobsite safety inspections and ensure proper documentation

3. Project Execution & Quality Control

• Oversee construction activities including:
  • Trenching and directional boring
  • Pole transfers and aerial fiber installation (lashing)
  • Conduit and fiber placement
  • Grounding, vault, and cabinet installation
• Monitor workmanship to ensure high-quality installation of fiber, conduit, strand, and restoration work
• Communicate field changes in real-time to management for approval
• Track and document redlines and as-built changes for project closeout

4. Productivity & Resource Coordination

• Set and track daily and weekly production goals
• Monitor labor hours, equipment utilization, and material usage
• Identify and resolve production delays and jobsite challenges quickly
• Coordinate with logistics, engineering, warehouse teams, and subcontractors
• Communicate project status updates, risks, and material needs to management

5. Communication & Reporting

• Act as the primary liaison between field teams and upper management
• Provide regular updates on project progress, timelines, and key issues
• Ensure accurate and timely reporting of field activity and job completion status

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong background in:

  • Fiber optic installation (aerial and underground)
  • Construction management and field supervision
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints, construction drawings, and network designs
• Hands-on experience with:
  • Underground construction (trenching, boring)
  • Aerial fiber installation and pole line work
• Strong leadership and decision-making skills in a fast-paced environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Proven experience supervising multiple crews and job sites
• Deep knowledge of telecom construction standards and best practices
• Strong organizational and project management skills
• Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities
• Ability to manage priorities, meet deadlines, and adapt to changing project demands

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Leadership role with high visibility and impact on major infrastructure projects
Work on a mix of aerial and underground fiber builds
Opportunity to manage large-scale, multi-site telecom deployments
Career growth into senior leadership or project management roles
Dynamic, field-based work environment-no desk-only work

Who Should Apply

• Experienced telecom foremen or supervisors looking to step into a larger leadership role
• Construction leaders with fiber or OSP experience seeking career growth
• Professionals who excel in field operations, team leadership, and problem-solving
