Your Impact:

The Joint Trench Program Manager oversees the end-to-end development and execution of Frontier's Joint Trench Fiber Expansion initiative. This field-based role is responsible for proactively identifying and advancing greenfield (new, previously undeveloped) residential and MDU developments by building strong relationships with developers, city officials, contractors, and utility stakeholders. By surfacing opportunities early, prior to vertical construction, the Program Manager ensures Frontier secures joint trenching participation, accelerates deployment, and maximizes customer growth.

Core Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain strong relationships with developers, general contractors, and municipal planning departments to identify upcoming subdivisions and mixed-use projects.
• Scout and qualify greenfield developments using local intelligence, permitting activity, and direct outreach.
• Engage proactively with builders and contractors to secure joint trench participation, including conduit delivery and construction alignment.
• Represent Frontier at preconstruction meetings, site visits, and planning sessions, advocating for joint trenching and early sales engagement.
• Serve as the primary liaison between external stakeholders (developers, cities, utilities) and internal teams (Engineering, Sales, MDU, BAU).
• Maintain a centralized tracker of development opportunities, site plans, timelines, and key stakeholder contacts.
• Support permit acquisition, workprint reviews, and coordination with engineering teams.
• Participate in weekly triage and status meetings to align engineering, permitting, construction, and sales.
• Monitor development trends to inform Frontier's long-term fiber strategy and investment decisions.

Core Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience in land development, telecom, utilities, construction coordination, or municipal planning.
• Strong understanding of fiber deployment, greenfield subdivision development cycles, and joint trenching practices.
• Direct experience engaging with residential developers and builders to coordinate joint trench opportunities.
• Proven ability to work independently in the field, manage multiple projects, and thrive in a highly autonomous environment.
• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and relationship-building skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint.
• Willingness to travel frequently across Texas.
