Build the operation. Lead the field team. Drive production. Own project execution.
As Streamline Wireline expands its OSP construction operations in Montana, we are looking for an experienced Construction Manager to lead the execution of a large-scale underground OSP construction project in Ravalli County, just south of Missoula.
