• Work directly with utility companies to schedule pole replacements, transfers, and adjustments
• Review and validate pole attachment costs to align with project budgets
• Participate in joint-use meetings to resolve conflicts and drive milestone progress
• Partner with OSP Engineers, Project Managers, and Construction teams to ensure construction readiness
• Maintain accurate documentation and reporting within internal systems
• Ensure compliance with NESC, OSHA, and utility regulations

• High school diploma
• Minimum 4 years of experience in telecommunications, fiber deployment, utility coordination, or infrastructure project management or an equivalent combination of education and experience
