Fiber Delivery Technical Infrastructure Program Manager – Civil Deployment Manager (FD-TIPM, Civil)
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we're looking for talented people who want to help.
You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
How would you like to build the physical pathways that carry Fiber to the Cloud?
We are looking for a highly motivated, technically savvy Civil Deployment Manager (FD-TIPM) to deliver the underground and aerial infrastructure behind one of the world's largest and most complex networks. As a Civil DM, you will own metro and long-haul civil construction programs from start to finish. That includes conduit, duct bank, vault/handhole, directional bore, and aerial pathway builds that connect AWS data center campuses, regions, and network facilities.
Civil DMs manage highly technical, cost-efficient, fast-paced construction programs that keep pace with and enable AWS network growth. You will be accountable for schedule, cost, quality, and safety across multiple concurrent spans. You'll work with design engineers, permitting agencies, utilities, right-of-way owners, and construction contractors to turn route plans into delivered infrastructure.
Key Job Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end delivery of civil fiber construction programs: route analysis, vendor selection, permitting, construction, as-builts, and turnover to fiber placement/splicing teams.
- Develop and manage integrated program schedules. Identify the critical path, flag risks early, and drive mitigation to hit committed delivery dates.
- Lead vendor RFQ/RFP processes, evaluate bids, and manage contractors against scope, cost, schedule, and quality expectations.
- Manage budgets and approvals (CARs/PCRs), forecast spend, and control change orders.
- Coordinate permitting and right-of-way with municipalities, DOTs, railroads, utilities, and private landowners.
- Run risk registers and escalation paths, and write clear status updates for leadership. Own weekly program correspondence and MBR reporting.
- Enforce construction quality and safety standards in the field. Conduct site walks, review inspection results, and make sure as-builts are accurate and complete.
- Write technical documents (e.g., TORAs, route/vendor analyses, lessons learned) to drive decisions and scale best practices.
- Drive continuous improvement in civil delivery processes, tools, and vendor performance.
Do you have deep experience in some or all of these disciplines?
- Civil/underground utility construction management: conduit, duct bank, HDD/directional boring, trenching, vaults/handholes, aerial make-ready
- OSP design and construction, including permitting and right-of-way acquisition
- Contractor and vendor management on multi-million-dollar construction programs
- Construction scheduling, cost control, and change management
Are you well versed in GIS (e.g., ArcGIS, Google Earth/KMZ), Salesforce, or Smartsheet?
Have you worked in QuickSight, Power BI, or Tableau to track program health and report to leadership?
If you have skills in each of these categories, or you have managed complex, interdependent construction programs from planning through closeout, this could be the role for you.

Search Infrastructure Manager Jobs in VirginiaInfrastructure Manager Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies in Virginia sponsor visas for infrastructure managers?
Northern Virginia's defense and technology sector produces the highest concentration of infrastructure manager sponsorships. Leidos, SAIC, Booz Allen Hamilton, General Dynamics IT, and Perspecta regularly file H-1B visa petitions for infrastructure management roles. Commercial employers in Ashburn and Reston, including major cloud providers and managed service firms, also sponsor infrastructure managers with demonstrated experience in network architecture, data center operations, and hybrid cloud platforms.
Which visa types realistically cover infrastructure manager roles in Virginia?
Infrastructure manager is a specialty occupation requiring a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related engineering field, making it eligible for the H-1B, E-3 visa (Australian nationals), and H-1B1 visa (Chilean and Singaporean nationals). Employers file a Labor Condition Application with DOL before petitioning USCIS. F-1 graduates with STEM-designated degrees can use OPT or STEM OPT while pursuing sponsorship. Qualified candidates may also pursue EB-2 or EB-3 green card pathways through PERM labor certification.
How to find infrastructure manager visa sponsorship jobs in Virginia?
Migrate Mate lists Virginia infrastructure manager roles specifically at employers with verified H-1B and E-3 LCA filing history, so you can search by role and location without manually sorting through employers that don't sponsor. Northern Virginia is the most active region, with Ashburn, Reston, McLean, and Arlington generating the highest volume of infrastructure manager postings from defense contractors, cloud providers, and federal IT firms.
Which Virginia cities have the most infrastructure manager sponsorship jobs?
Northern Virginia dominates, with Ashburn hosting one of the world's densest concentrations of data centers, making it a natural hub for infrastructure management roles. Reston and McLean are home to major defense contractors and federal IT consulting firms. Arlington attracts government-adjacent technology employers, and Herndon sees consistent infrastructure manager hiring from managed services companies. Richmond has a growing presence from financial services and state government IT operations.
Are there state-specific factors that affect infrastructure manager sponsorship in Virginia?
Virginia's proximity to federal agencies creates strong demand for infrastructure managers who can obtain security clearances, which some employers require before or during the visa sponsorship process. Clearance eligibility for non-citizens is limited and role-dependent, so candidates should confirm clearance requirements early. George Mason University and Virginia Tech supply a steady pipeline of international graduates into Northern Virginia's IT sector, and several employers in the corridor have established patterns of sponsoring infrastructure roles through F-1 OPT transitions to H-1B.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored infrastructure manager jobs in Virginia?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
