About the Role
The Director of LV/Fiber Deployment leads the planning, execution, and operational handoff of low-voltage and fiber infrastructure deployments across data center, edge, and network facilities. This leader ensures deployments are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to defined quality and reliability standards.
The role owns the end-to-end deployment lifecycle: design coordination, vendor strategy, material readiness, field execution, commissioning support, documentation, and turnover to operations.
What You’ll be Doing
- Lead regional or global deployment programs for structured cabling, fiber backbone, low-voltage systems, and related physical infrastructure.
- Build and lead a high-performing team of deployment managers, program managers, field engineers, and vendor partners.
- Own deployment planning, schedules, resource models, budgets, forecasts, and executive reporting.
What You’ll Bring
- 10+ years of experience in physical infrastructure deployment, data centers, telecommunications, network construction, or large-scale critical environments.
- 5+ years leading multi-site teams, contractors, vendors, or complex deployment programs.
- Deep knowledge of structured cabling, fiber-optic infrastructure, low-voltage systems, testing and certification practices, and cable-management standards.
- Experience delivering infrastructure in data centers, telecom networks, industrial facilities, or other mission-critical environments.
- Demonstrated success managing large vendor workforces, budgets, schedules, and quality programs.
- Strong understanding of construction, commissioning, change control, site readiness, and operational handoff.
Preferred Qualifications and Experience
- Experience supporting hyperscale cloud, AI/GPU infrastructure, or high-density data center deployments.
- Experience with fiber design, OTDR testing, splice management, MPO/MTP systems, and structured-cabling standards.
- Familiarity with BICSI, TIA/EIA, ISO/IEC, and applicable local codes and safety requirements.
- Experience with deployment tooling, asset tracking, work-order systems, and dashboard-driven operational management.
- Relevant certifications such as RCDD, CFOT, PMP, or Lean/Six Sigma.
Success Measures
- Safe, on-time, and on-budget deployment delivery
- Fiber and low-voltage installation quality and first-pass acceptance rates
- Reduction in deployment defects, rework, and time to operational handoff
- Vendor capacity, productivity, and performance
- Deployment readiness and schedule predictability
- Stakeholder satisfaction across construction, engineering, network, and operations teams
