Description
Construction Coordinator (GIS)
We are seeking a highly skilled GIS Construction Coordinator to lead the engineering coordination and quality control of large-scale FTTH and OSP fiber deployments. This role sits at the intersection of GIS, engineering, and field execution — ensuring highly constructible, permit-ready, and client-approved design deliverables from concept through final as-builts.
This position is ideal for a fiber design professional who understands GIS platforms, OSP architecture, and real-world constructability — and who can confidently manage engineering vendors while driving quality and schedule performance.
