Company: Davey Resource Group, Inc.
Locations: Dallas, TX, Tampa, FL
Additional Locations: Regional South
Work Site: On Site
Req ID: 230298
Position Overview
The Senior Fiber Manager is a hands-on, high-impact leader responsible for delivering Outside Plant (OSP) fiber optic infrastructure projects end-to-end while driving account growth, client retention, and business expansion.
This role blends operational field leadership with commercial acumen. You will not only manage construction schedules, budgets, safety, and field crews across complex aerial and underground builds, but you will also serve as the principal commercial face to the client—identifying new revenue opportunities, leading scope expansion discussions, and partnering with business development to secure new awards. You must be equally comfortable reviewing splice matrices and ROW permits in the field as you are delivering executive QBRs and scoping future market builds.
Job Duties
- Act as the primary strategic and commercial partner for utility, municipal, and telecom clients, identifying organic growth opportunities, route extensions, and add-on services across assigned accounts.
- Identify, negotiate, and price scope changes, change orders, and unforeseen field conditions to protect profitability and maximize project contract value.
- Partner with executive leadership and business development teams to contribute field-level pricing, constructability reviews, schedules, and technical narratives for RFPs and bids.
- Lead weekly client governance, executive dashboards, and Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), transforming project status discussions into relationship-building and pipeline-generation opportunities.
- Spend significant time on job sites directly inspecting aerial/underground placement, splicing, testing (OTDR/Power Meter), and make-ready work, ensuring construction meets exact engineering standards and safety codes.
- Directly navigate complex right-of-way (ROW), easement, railroad, DOT, and pole attachment agreements, stepping in personally to resolve agency or utility impasses.
- Supervise internal field resources and external subcontractors; track labor, materials, and heavy equipment deployment to maximize daily linear foot production.
- Own project-level budgets, margin health, invoicing milestones, resource allocation, and cash flow forecasting across multiple concurrent builds.
- Proactively anticipate schedule delays, supply chain constraints, and field roadblocks, deploying hands-on contingency plans to keep deployments on time and within margin targets.
- Enforce rigorous field safety standards (OSHA, NESC, DOT) and Davey’s safety culture across all field crews and subcontractors.
Qualifications
- 7+ years of progressive experience in OSP fiber construction, utility infrastructure, or telecom project management, with demonstrated experience in a lead or senior capacity.
- Proven track record of growing existing account revenue, winning change-order negotiations, and identifying new project opportunities through strong client relationships.
- Deep, practical knowledge of underground (directional drilling, trenching, micro-trenching) and aerial fiber installation, splicing, testing, make-ready engineering, and joint-use pole permitting.
- Direct experience managing project budgets ($5M+ preferred), unit-rate contract models, and vendor cost negotiations.
- A true "player-coach" who thrives on traveling to active job sites, solving problems in real time with field crews, and representing the brand professionally in client boardrooms.
- Willingness to travel throughout the southern regions to lead job sites, conduct client site walks, and attend commercial meetings. Degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Business, or equivalent field experience; PMP or industry-recognized certifications; proficiency in GIS/mapping platforms and project scheduling software.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Project Manager
Verify your occupation code before applying
H-2B visa eligibility is tied to your SOC code, not your job title. Look up your O*NET profile to confirm 'Project Manager' maps to a temporary, seasonal, or intermittent need before targeting any employer.
Target employers with recurring seasonal projects
Construction firms, ski resort operators, and stadium event companies rehire H-2B workers each season. Employers who have run the DOL temporary labor certification process before move faster and make fewer filing errors.
Search verified H-2B employers on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Project Manager roles by employers with active H-2B filing history. This cuts out companies unfamiliar with temporary labor certification requirements, saving you time during a cap-constrained filing window.
Negotiate start dates around the cap split
The 66,000 annual H-2B cap divides into two 33,000-visa halves for October 1 and April 1 start dates. Ask employers to align your projected start date with the correct half to avoid waiting an entire fiscal year.
Prepare a project-specific work history summary
DOL temporary labor certification requires the employer to define the job as genuinely temporary. Documenting your experience managing seasonal or fixed-duration projects strengthens the employer's case that the need isn't permanent.
Confirm prevailing wage compliance before signing an offer
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location. Accepting an offer below that rate creates a USCIS filing problem the employer will have to correct before petitioning.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Project Manager jobs with H-2B visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to search, since it filters listings by employers with verified H-2B filing history. General job boards don't distinguish between employers who have run the DOL temporary labor certification process and those who haven't. Targeting employers with prior H-2B experience is critical because the employer must initiate the certification well before your intended start date.
Does the H-2B annual cap affect when I can start a Project Manager role?
Yes. The 66,000-visa annual cap splits into two 33,000-visa halves tied to October 1 and April 1 start dates. Demand routinely exceeds supply, particularly for the summer half. Your employer must submit the temporary labor certification to DOL at least 60 days before your start date, so both of you need to plan several months ahead of the target season.
Can a Project Manager role qualify as a temporary position under H-2B rules?
It can, but the employer must demonstrate that the need is genuinely seasonal, intermittent, or tied to a one-time project. A construction firm managing a fixed-term stadium build or a resort overseeing seasonal infrastructure work typically qualifies. Ongoing year-round management roles do not meet the temporary need standard DOL requires for certification.
What documents should I have ready when an employer begins my H-2B sponsorship?
Prepare a complete work history showing project-based or seasonal experience, any relevant credentials or certifications, and passport documentation with validity extending beyond your intended stay. Your employer needs these to complete the DOL temporary labor certification and the subsequent I-129 petition to USCIS accurately. Delays in providing documentation can push your filing past the cap allocation window.
