Construction Project Manager / Fiber OSP / Cherry Hill, NJ
Job Description
This opportunity is with a large telecommunications and infrastructure provider supporting major broadband network expansion projects. The role focuses on managing construction-related initiatives that support fiber and coax network builds. As a Construction Project Manager, you will coordinate across planning, permitting, engineering, and field construction teams to ensure projects move from design to activation efficiently.
This role is ideal for a highly organized Project Manager who thrives in complex environments with many moving parts. You will act as the operational "glue" between departments—connecting pre-construction planning, permitting, and field construction teams while managing multiple large-scale projects simultaneously. If you enjoy driving accountability, managing risk, and keeping large infrastructure projects on track, this role offers the opportunity to work on high-impact broadband expansion initiatives while gaining deeper exposure to telecom construction and headend engineering operations.
