This job description is for a construction project manager or coordinator role focused on fiber network deployments, specifically Greenfield projects (new, undeveloped areas) using joint trenching techniques. Here's a breakdown in simple terms:

Project Overview – What the Role Does

• Greenfield Projects Submission: Identify and officially submit new network construction projects (in newly developed areas) into Salesforce, then track their progress through Sitetracker (a project management tool).

• OSP Feasibility/Cost Estimation: Use a desktop estimator to assess the feasibility and cost of Outside Plant (OSP) fiber infrastructure.

• Forms and Models: Fill out internal forms like the SFU PASS model and BBO Intake form to justify projects, especially those that deviate from normal plans.

• Conduit Delivery Oversight: Make sure the fiber conduit (the physical path for cables) is delivered to the project sites on time.

• Joint Trench Coordination: Help consolidate and standardize performance metrics for joint trench projects (where fiber is laid alongside utilities like power or gas in the same trench to save cost/time).

• Vendor Liaison: Act as the main contact for companies designing these joint trench plans, ensuring you receive the proper design and As-Built (final construction) documents.

• New Opportunity Discovery: Use tools like Zonda (market intelligence) and permitting software to discover new housing developments that could be candidates for fiber installation.

• Field Checks: Physically visit areas to scout for other fiber providers and assess opportunities for joint trench collaboration.

Mandatory Skills (Must-Have Experience)

• 3+ years managing fiber/cable construction projects, especially involving joint trenching.

• 5+ years in roles like network operations, engineering, or construction.

• Hands-on with CAD, GIS systems, and managing fiber records or As-Built documentation.

• Experience with SFU (Single Family Unit) Greenfield designs/builds.

• Background with telecom, cable, or power companies.

Desired Skills (Nice to Have)

• 3+ years designing or building fiber networks.

• Familiar with GIS tools like 3GIS or QGIS.

• Direct experience working with home builders and developers to coordinate joint trench participation.

• Project management with cross-functional teams and vendor management experience.
