Description

At Utilities One , we are driven by innovation, operational excellence, and a commitment to building the future of critical infrastructure. As a trusted turnkey solutions provider across telecom, power, water, renewable energy, and data center sectors, we deliver high-quality services that connect and empower communities. In addition to our core operations, we offer specialized consulting services that help our clients design, optimize, and execute complex infrastructure projects with confidence and precision. We believe our greatest strength is our people — a team of dedicated professionals who bring expertise, collaboration, and integrity to everything they do. Join us and become part of a growing organization where your contributions make a meaningful impact.

Engineering Program Manager will track all engineering projects to ensure critical milestones are met and projects stay on track. Develop cost breakdowns for telecom network design services (fiber, wireless), integrating engineering specifications with rate card-based pricing for design tasks such as field surveys, drafting, permitting, and fiber routing. This role will also focus on the design phase, using knowledge with CAD/GIS and estimating tools to ensure projects align with technical requirements and budget constraints from proposal to design completion, assuring margin profile all while serving as a bridge between engineering and financial planning.
Key Responsibilities

• Define and track KPI’s, program scope, milestones, timelines, and success metrics.
• Provide clear status reporting to senior leadership and stakeholders.
• Create executive-level dashboards and readouts of at risk projects.
• Act as the primary interface between engineering and construction to ensure proper handoffs are made between the two departments.
• Cost Estimation: Develop detailed cost estimates for design services (e.g., field surveys, FLD, HLD, LLD, MDU Design, permitting, etc.) based on provided rate cards or RFPs.
• RFP Review & Risk Assessment: Thoroughly analyze incoming RFPs, identify design-specific risks (scope gaps, ambiguous requirements, permitting complexities, timeline constraints), and provide clear risk summaries with mitigation recommendations to support accurate, competitive quoting.
• Design Liaison: Collaborate with engineers to interpret technical requirements (network diagrams, site configurations, route planning) and translate them into cost-effective design solutions.
• Documentation: Prepare accurate quote documents, track design-related costs, and document technical specifications for bids and proposals.
• Project Coordination: Manage the design pre-sales pipeline, coordinate with internal teams (engineering, business development) and external vendors for design inputs.
• Software Proficiency: Utilize GIS tools (IQGeo) and estimating software for evaluation, route mapping, and rate card-based cost analysis.
• Technical Analysis: Assess existing infrastructure and proposed designs for feasibility, compliance, and potential issues, focusing on design efficiency, profitability, and rate card applicability.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• Technical: Network fundamentals (wired/wireless), GIS software (IQGEO specific), understanding of telecom design processes (e.g., OSP/ISP routing, FTTx, Long Haul, Permitting), rate card-based cost analysis.
• Analytical: Strong critical thinking, attention to detail, problem-solving for optimized design outcomes.
• Soft Skills: Communication, coordination, negotiation, project management.
• Experience: Experience in OSP/ISP design, fiber network planning, or wireless infrastructure design is often required.

Benefits

• Health Insurance plans (health, dental, vision);
• Whole Life Insurance;
• 401k Plan;
• PTO/Paid Holidays;
• Great Work Environment;
• Career Advancement Opportunities.
