PRG is looking for a Project Manager to manage our route-based fiber construction / maintenance program, whereby Construction Coordinators are driving assigned routes, monitoring existing fiber infrastructure, and keeping small issues from becoming big ones. You'll own the schedule, the budget, and play a critical role in managing the client relationship, and you'll be the point of escalation when something in the field needs a decision. This is an office-based role, you'll work from a PRG office location, not from the road. What You'll Own Own end-to-end delivery of the route-based construction/maintenance program, serving as the primary point of accountability for schedule, budget, quality, and scope. Serve as the escalation point for issues Construction Coordinators surface in the field — infrastructure changes, potential failure points, or conditions that call for a decision beyond first-level field support. Partner closely with the route-based Construction Coordinator team to keep coverage, priorities, and workload balanced across the program — this role owns the program's outcomes, not the Coordinators' direct day-to-day supervision. Build and maintain project schedules, staffing plans, and budgets; track progress against milestones and proactively flag risks to timeline or cost. Review completed work against the scope of work (SOW) to confirm quality, accuracy, and adherence to both client and PRG standards. Act as the primary client-facing contact for the program, providing status updates, managing expectations, and resolving issues before they escalate. Coordinate with contractors, subcontractors, and internal PRG teams (engineering, operations, HR) to keep the program properly staffed and resourced. Analyze field data, 811 locate ticket activity, and route reports to spot trends, recurring risk areas, or opportunities to improve how the route network is run. Prepare and present regular status reports and program metrics to PRG leadership and client stakeholders. Support recruiting, onboarding, and training of Construction Coordinators as the program grows. What You'll Bring Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, business, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience. Prior experience managing project schedules, budgets, and field-based teams in fiber/telecom outside plant construction, utility construction, or a related field-services industry. Experience working alongside or coordinating route-based, outside-plant, or field-locate personnel is a strong plus. Solid understanding of fiber engineering fundamentals, outside plant construction practices, and underground utility/dig-law basics (the 811 process, locate tickets, maps and prints) — enough to speak credibly with both the field team and the client. Proven ability to manage budgets and staffing plans and to report accurately on project financials and status. Strong client-facing communication skills, written and verbal, with the ability to adjust your delivery to your audience. Sharp organizational skills and the ability to prioritize across a multi-route program with competing demands. Strong technology skills (e.g., Microsoft Office (Excel and Project in particular)) for scheduling, reporting, and budgeting. PMP certification is a plus, not required. Able to work in person from a PRG office location on a regular basis — this is an office-based role, not a remote or field position.
