•
Coordinate with city management (city officials, jurisdictional authorities and utility representatives) to ensure business targets are met.
•
Lead and manage proposals, bids, scope definition, engineering design cycles and design review and approvals for a FTTH network, specifically, the selection of vendors.
At a minimum we’d like you to have:
•
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Telecommunications or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
•
7 years of experience with fiber network deployments, outside and inside plant fiber infrastructure.
•
7 years of leadership experience leading teams and managing vendors.
•

It’s preferred if you have:
•
MBA or Master’s degree in Technology.
•
10 years of relevant industry experience, with technical and people management experience.
•
Experience developing requests for proposals (RFPs), scheduling projects, cost engineering, budgeting and forecasting costs, reporting project status and costs, procurement and consulting with contractors, and vendors.
•
Experience with inside (ISP) and outside (OSP) plant fiber optic network infrastructure, and engineering design and construction.
•
