Operations Manager
Operations Manager
We are hiring an Operations Manager to bring structure and visibility to fast-moving, multi-market operations. You sit between the field and the office and keep production, reporting, and closeout on track as the company grows.
The role, day to day
Your job is to keep our programs running smoothly across every market we are active in. That means coordinating each day between the crews in the field, both our own and our partners, and the office team, and turning what is happening on the ground into reporting that leadership can act on. You own the workflows that carry a job from mobilization through closeout, and you are the one who catches a schedule or production problem early, before it costs the program.
- Daily coordination between field crews, owned and partner, and the office team
- Production tracking and daily reporting across every active job site
- Standard workflows from mobilization through GIS-ready closeout
- Scheduling, resource planning, and crew coordination
What we are looking for
You have run operations in a field-based business before, ideally construction, telecom or outside plant, or utilities, and you think in systems rather than one-off fixes. You are comfortable living in production data and turning it into something people can use, and you can hold your own coordinating with a field foreman and an office manager in the same afternoon. Because the role is remote and covers many markets, you stay organized and self-directed without someone standing over your shoulder.
- Operations experience in construction, telecom or OSP, utilities, or a similar field-based business
- Comfort tracking production data and building clear reporting
- Working knowledge of the Fulcrum field data-collection app
- Willingness to travel to job sites as needed
Nice to have
Direct outside-plant or fiber construction experience is a plus, along with familiarity with project-management and GIS as-built tools and a working knowledge of NESC, OSHA, and MUTCD standards.
Estimator
Estimator
We are hiring an Estimator to price our aerial and underground fiber builds. You turn OSP plans into accurate, defensible numbers and assemble the bid packages that win carrier, ISP, and MSO work.
The role, day to day
Starting from construction drawings and route prints, you perform quantity takeoffs, build up labor and material costs, and put together complete bid packages in response to RFPs and against master service agreements. You work closely with engineering and operations so your estimates reflect how the work actually gets built, and you keep our unit-cost and labor-unit data current as real production comes back from the field. When a bid is on the line, you are the person who can stand behind the number.
- Quantity takeoffs from aerial and underground OSP drawings and route prints
- Cost buildups covering labor, materials, equipment, partner pricing, permits, and restoration
- Bid and proposal packages for carrier, ISP, and MSO RFPs and MSAs
- Unit-cost and labor-unit databases kept current against field production
What we are looking for
You have estimated outside-plant, telecom, utility, or heavy-civil construction before, and you can read a set of OSP plans and produce an accurate takeoff without hand-holding. You know unit-cost estimating and bill-of-material buildups cold, you are comfortable in spreadsheets and estimating tools, and you have the discipline to price scope you are confident defending.
- Estimating experience in OSP or fiber, telecom, utility, or heavy-civil construction
- Strong command of unit-cost estimating and bill-of-material buildups
- Comfort with estimating and takeoff tools and spreadsheets
Nice to have
Direct fiber OSP estimating for carrier or ISP programs, familiarity with BEAD and grant-funded bid requirements, experience with takeoff software and GIS as-built data, and working knowledge of the Fulcrum app are all pluses.
OSP Engineer
OSP Engineer
We are hiring an OSP Engineer to own our outside-plant design and permitting, from the field survey through the as-builts the carrier accepts at closeout.
The role, day to day
You engineer aerial and underground routes, run pole loading and make-ready, and carry the permitting across DOT, railroad, municipal, utility, and environmental jurisdictions with an eye on lead times. You take raw field survey data and turn it into issued-for-construction prints that the crews can actually build, and at the end of every job you deliver the GIS-ready as-builts that get the segment accepted and paid. Throughout, you work with estimating and operations so what you design is both buildable and priced right.
- Aerial and underground route design: strand, make-ready, HDD, trench, conduit, and splice points
- Issued-for-construction drawings, route prints, and bills of material
- Permitting across DOT, railroad, municipal, utility, and environmental jurisdictions
- GIS-ready as-builts and closeout documentation the customer accepts
What we are looking for
You have designed outside-plant fiber, both aerial and underground, and you are fluent in the tools that get it done, whether that is AutoCAD alongside a platform like 3-GIS, Vetro, or Bentley. You understand NESC, pole loading, and make-ready, and you know your way around permitting across the jurisdictions a route crosses.
- OSP engineering or design experience, aerial and underground fiber
- Command of OSP design tools and GIS such as AutoCAD, 3-GIS, Vetro, or Bentley
- Working knowledge of NESC, pole loading, and make-ready
Nice to have
A PE license, BEAD or grant-funded design experience, working knowledge of the Fulcrum app, and experience managing designers or partner engineering firms are all welcome as the function grows.
Fiber Splicer
Fiber Splicer
We are hiring a Fiber Splicer to prep, splice, and test the fiber our crews place across the country. You close routes out at the connector level, and your OTDR traces are the proof the network works.
The role, day to day
You work ahead of and behind the construction crews, splicing loose-tube and ribbon fiber in vaults, handholes, pedestals, and aerial closures. Working from splice matrices and route prints, you land every fiber where the design says it goes, hold the TIA-598 color code end to end, then shoot OTDR traces in both directions and turn in documentation the carrier accepts the first time. Some weeks that means production splicing on a new FTTx segment; other weeks it means a 2 a.m. emergency restoration on a dig-in cut.
- Fusion splicing of loose-tube and ribbon fiber in enclosures, vaults, pedestals, and aerial closures
- Splice-matrix and route-print reading with TIA-598 color-code discipline end to end
- OTDR testing with bidirectional traces and clean, carrier-ready closeout documentation
- Emergency restoration response on storm and dig-in cuts, rotating on-call
What we are looking for
You have spliced production fiber on carrier, ISP, or MSO plant and can hold count integrity on high-count cable without being babysat. You read prints and splice details fluently, you take care of your splicer and your test gear, and your closeout paperwork does not come back with rejections. Travel is part of the job; you go where the build is.
- 2+ years fusion splicing on outside-plant fiber for carrier, ISP, or MSO networks
- Confident on high-count loose-tube and ribbon cable, including mid-span entries
- OTDR operation and trace interpretation with clean test documentation
- Valid driver's license and willingness to travel multi-state
Nice to have
CFOT or CFOS/S certification, experience delivering SOR trace files and working in splice-documentation software, aerial bucket experience, and a CDL are all pluses.
Operator-led and crew-first.
FCC is built by people who have already done the work. The leadership team has worn the bucket harness, run the bores, and signed the timesheets, and we built FCC the way we wish our old employers had been built.
Safety, Non-Negotiable
OSHA 30, NESC, and MUTCD baked into every JSA. We don't cut corners on PPE, training, or the plan. We send everyone home the way they showed up.
Real Growth Path
Helper to lineman to crew lead to supervisor, and out into engineering, splicing, or PM if that's the path. We promote from the field.
Pay for Performance
Competitive base, real per-diem on travel work, and bonus structure tied to schedule, safety, and quality. The crews that hit the marks get paid like it.
Take Care of the Crew
Health, dental, vision, and 401(k) as the company scales. Direct access to the founders, fair scheduling, and a culture that treats every member of the crew as a person whose work matters.
Don't See a Fit?
We hire across the full Outside Plant lifecycle, from field crews to engineering and operations, and openings change as programs mobilize. If none of the positions above meet your expertise, submit your resume and we will keep it on file and reach out when the right work comes up.
FCC is an equal-opportunity employer. We hire based on skill, attitude, and willingness to do the work.
