Job Summary

This operative role focuses on the daily on-site management of fiber optic (FTTx/FTTH/FTTB) construction projects. As a Site Manager, you will be responsible for the direct supervision of construction crews and subcontractors, ensuring that excavation, pipe laying, and cable blowing are executed according to technical standards. You will handle quality control, documentation via digital tools, and ensure compliance with traffic safety and occupational health regulations.
