Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced New Site Build Project Manager to manage the full lifecycle of wireless telecommunications new site construction projects — from initiation and permitting through construction execution and closeout. New site build experience is required for this role, and candidates with demonstrated experience managing new site builds across raw land, colocation, rooftop, and utility pole site types are strongly encouraged to apply. In this role, you will serve as the central coordination point for all project execution activity — owning the client relationship and all project financials for your assigned portfolio, providing project-level work direction to assigned Project Coordinators and Construction Managers, and coordinating with the warehouse team to ensure materials, equipment, and customer assets are consistently aligned with project schedules and field requirements. You will also be responsible for ensuring that every supporting role — PC, CM, and warehouse — is communicating effectively and working in sync toward seamless project delivery. If you have the experience, organizational discipline, and client management skills to keep complex telecom construction programs on track from kickoff through customer acceptance, we want to hear from you.
