This is a boots-on-the-ground role — out in the trucks, in the trenches, and at the pole alongside the techs, not behind a desk. Own training, safety, and quality of workmanship in the field while making every customer install and service call feel magical. Success is measured by job completion, safety record, quality of work, and the customer experience our techs deliver. Schedule & Availability This is not a standard 9-to-5 role.

Track and drive completion rate, on-time arrival, and jobs-per-tech-per-day; remove blockers that slow the team down. Own basic inventory counts, budget management, and forecasting for the field team — track stock and equipment, manage to budget, and forecast labour and material needs. Quality of Work Hold the line on workmanship standards across all lines of business Drive first-time fix and reduce repeat truck rolls; make sure the fix sticks and the install is done to spec. Inspect completed work, give direct feedback, and capture recurring quality issues to fix at the root. Maintain technical depth in both TPIA (cable/coax, signal levels, and Fibre (GPON/FTTH, splicing, ONT/optical levels). Safety & Compliance Own field safety — ladders, heights, vehicles, electrical, and confined/aerial work — and lead by example, every job, every day. Keep certifications, training, and safety tickets current across the team; never let the crew work out of compliance. Set and enforce standards for tools, test equipment, vehicles, and PPE. Investigate incidents and near-misses, close gaps quickly, and build a no-shortcuts safety culture. Training & Development Build and run hands-on training for new and existing techs across Shorten onboarding ramp time through structured ride-alongs, shadowing, and field certification. Coach in the moment — at the truck, at the pole, at the customer's door — and document development plans. Grow a crew that's cross-skilled, confident, and capable on either line of business.
