You plan requirements with internal customers and usher projects through the entire project lifecycle.

  • Provide engineering vendor selection, engagement, and management to deliver within schedule, budget and scope.
  • Support finance metric development, reporting, and dashboard reporting.

    • At a minimum we'd like you to have:

  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Telecommunications or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 7 years of project management and people management experience, which may be a combination of direct employee management and direct vendor management in the telecommunications field.
  • 7 years of program management and OSP engineering experience in the telecommunications industry.
  • 7 years of practical experience working with GIS (Geographic Information Systems) or CAD (Computer Aided Design) systems.
