• Coordinate internal crews, subcontractors, vendors, inspectors, and engineering resources.
• Track production against schedule and established project milestones.
• Resolve field issues involving utilities, municipalities, property owners, design conflicts, and construction conditions.
• Ensure work is completed safely and meets customer specifications and applicable construction standards.
Project & Financial Management
• Maintain ownership of project budgets, production, forecasting, and profitability.
• Monitor labor, subcontractor, equipment, and material costs.
• Track completed quantities and ensure accurate production reporting and billing.
• Review subcontractor invoices and validate completed work.
• Manage change orders and additional work outside the original project scope.
• Identify potential schedule or financial risks and develop corrective action plans.
• Provide regular project updates to customer and company leadership.
Client Management
• Serve as a primary point of contact for telecommunications customers throughout the project lifecycle.
• Lead project kickoff meetings, construction meetings, and progress reviews.
• Communicate schedule, production, design changes, permitting issues, and project risks.
