The Manager oversees projects from design through completion—ensuring they meet client standards, stay on schedule, and remain within budget.

Supervisors may report to a Superintendent/Supervisor when managing multiple crews on similar job types.

A strong understanding of permitting, pole/conduit licensing, and utility coordination is essential.
