Construction Manager

Luck Grove Telecom Inc•Syracuse, NY

12d•$70,000 - $90,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Luck Grove delivers broadband and fiber construction across multiple active portfolios, including multi-dwelling unit (MDU) properties, inside-building fiber, OSP segments, backhaul, fixed wireless, remediation, and closeout work. The work is fast-moving and field-driven, and it depends on tight coordination across construction, engineering, materials, vendors, property access, QC, and closeout. The Construction Manager owns daily field execution for assigned properties and work packages under the direction of the Construction Program Manager. The CM makes sure work released to the field is actually ready to build, that vendors and crews know what they are doing, that production is verified before it is reported, and that quality evidence is captured while the work is performed. The CM directs the vendors and crews on assigned work and resolves the blockers that can be solved in the field. This is the seat between the crews performing work and senior construction leadership. The CM has to be credible with crews and vendors, organized enough to keep reporting accurate, and decisive enough to clear same-day blockers. The role does not own the portfolio schedule, budget, client relationship, or commercial approvals; those stay with the CPM and Luck Grove leadership. The CM keeps the work moving and gives the CPM reliable field information and on-the-ground control.

Requirements

3+ years in field construction management, telecom/fiber, low-voltage, utility, OSP/FTTH, MDU, or related infrastructure construction.
Experience directing subcontractors, vendors, internal crews, or field technicians in active construction, not just performing installation work.
Able to read and interpret construction prints, scopes of work, BOMs, punch lists, test and evidence requirements, and closeout expectations.
Experience managing daily production, field blockers, access constraints, materials and equipment needs, site logistics, and safety expectations.
Strong written communication for daily reports, issue summaries, punch tracking, and escalation notes.
Sound judgment on what can be solved in the field, what must be documented, and what must be escalated before work continues.
Comfortable in a live construction environment with urgent issues, property constraints, vendor pressure, and same-day schedule changes.
Able to travel to job sites, vendor and property locations, and field reviews as required.

Nice To Haves

MDU fiber installation, FTTH, inside-building low-voltage, OSP construction, backhaul/building-feed work, fixed wireless, broadband deployment, or utility construction.
Work in occupied residential properties, affordable-housing portfolios, or multi-tenant buildings requiring resident and property-manager coordination.
Familiarity with fiber and light-level testing & troubleshooting, OTDR results, Cat6/ethernet testing, fixed-wireless validation, photo documentation, redlines/as-builts, and closeout packages.
Hands-on with Monday.com, Smartsheet, Procore, Bluebeam, GIS/design viewers, Google Workspace, and Excel/Sheets.
OSHA 10/30, first aid/CPR, fiber/telecom training, low-voltage certification, construction-management coursework, or equivalent field experience.
Experience supporting vendor payment readiness, SOW compliance, change-order awareness, and documentation-backed completion claims.

Responsibilities

Own daily field execution for assigned vendor crews, geographies, properties, buildings, OSP segments, backhaul, fixed wireless, remediation, and closeout-related field work.
Translate the approved work plan into daily activity: where crews are working, what they are completing, what is blocked, and what happens next.
Run daily field check-ins with vendors, subcontractors, and crews to confirm work areas, production targets, safety expectations, and next-day needs.
Keep assigned work moving from pre-mobilization through construction, QC evidence capture, punch, remediation, and completion.
Confirm assigned work is ready before crews mobilize: scope, design, materials, access, authorization, vendor assignment, equipment, and QC expectations.
Review release-to-construction requirements with the CPM and flag hard stops before crews are dispatched.
Confirm site logistics such as access windows, escort and unit-access rules, staging and parking, lift and power needs, and resident or property impacts.
Document readiness gaps clearly with owner, due date, risk, and escalation need.
Direct day-to-day vendor, subcontractor, and crew activity on assigned work packages.
Set clear expectations for daily assignments, production, workmanship, safety, evidence capture, reporting, punch corrections, and closeout support.
Track vendor and crew productivity, and determine whether delays come from performance, access, materials, design, site conditions, weather, or dependencies.
Escalate recurring vendor issues, reporting failures, safety concerns, or poor workmanship to the CPM with facts and a recommendation.
Verify daily production as it is reported by crews. Do not report work as complete without field confirmation or reliable evidence.
Maintain accurate daily updates covering production, locations completed, remaining work, blockers, access and material issues, evidence collected, and the next-day plan.
Keep Monday.com, daily reports, trackers, material status, and closeout folders updated with accurate field information.
Make sure required QC evidence is captured during construction, including photos, test results, inspections, and redlines/as-builts per the package requirements.
Create and manage punch items for assigned work, tracking owner, due date, status, and completion evidence.
Confirm materials and equipment are available, staged, or exception-approved before crews need them, and escalate shortages the same day when production is at risk.
Maintain Luck Grove safety expectations on assigned work, confirm site rules and PPE compliance, and escalate incidents or unsafe conditions immediately.
Control property and resident impact by making sure crews understand work areas, access limits, and escalation paths for complaints or quality concerns.
Identify and document field changes, design conflicts, failed tests, or work outside approved scope, and hold work when a change requires approval first.
Escalate same-day blockers with a clear summary: issue, location, impact, owner, decision needed, recommended path, and time sensitivity. Do not commit to schedule, scope, commercial, or property-facing changes without authorization.
