Construction Manager – Sprint Network Vision AAV Build Project – Region 2 East
• Design and management of all aspects of Sprint Network Vision backhaul fiber build in NE PA, Buffalo, and Rochester
areas for 485 cell sites.
• Main daily duties include: perform initial site walks and any re-walks needed with the fiber provider for the site, site

point with the fiber provider; manage general contractors on build progress; redline any changes needed to initial design
from the property landlord or the GC in the field; work with site acquisition team on all landlord issues; do initial pricing of
sites; do change orders to pricing for redlines of initial design; perform pre and post construction site walks; review GC’s
closeout packages as final deliverable for Sprint.
