Sr. Vice President - OSP Engineering & Construction Remote

United States of America (USA), Remote

Lumos is scaling our fiber network across a growing footprint, and we're looking for a Senior Vice President of OSP Engineering & Construction to play a critical role in leading that expansion. With an established team and successful build program already in place, this is an opportunity to lead at scale while helping Lumos continue expanding its fiber network into new markets and communities.

We're looking for a servant leader with deep fiber overbuild experience who can bring both strategic perspective and operational discipline to the role. You'll lead an experienced team of regional OSP leaders, drive our construction and engineering objectives, support new market launches, and develop key relationships with municipalities, contractors, and vendors. Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to build on what's working, empower a talented team, and play a meaningful role in the continued growth of Lumos.

This position is open to candidates located within the Lumos footprint, with a preference for the Eastern or Central time zones. Travel will be up to 50% initially, with ongoing travel of roughly 25 to 50%.

Lumos is transforming the future of connectivity by building one of the nation's fastest-growing 100% Fiber Optic networks. Through T-Fiber, our joint venture with T-Mobile, we're working toward a shared goal of connecting 12 to 15 million homes by 2030 while expanding access to reliable, high-speed internet in the communities we serve.

Here, you'll find more than a job, you'll have the opportunity to make an impact, take ownership of your work, and help shape how we grow. We move quickly, collaborate across teams, and believe the best ideas come from people who are curious, solutions-oriented, and ready to build what's next.
