Real Estate Specialist - Telecom
This is an exciting opportunity for a Real Estate Specialist to support telecommunications network macro site modifications across Northern California and Nevada.

This role focuses on telecommunications real estate, site acquisition, lease management, zoning, and vendor management while partnering with construction, RF, network operations, fiber, and legal teams.
