Position DescriptionJob Title: Project Manager - Cellular RAN Design & Construction Scoping (Remote)
Department: Management Services
Reports To: Management Services Leadership
Project Manager - Cellular RAN Design & Construction Scoping Summary:Successful wireless deployments begin long before construction crews arrive on site. We are seeking an experienced Cellular RAN Design & Construction Scoping Project Manager to lead the engineering execution process from approved RF Design Sheets (RFDS) through the development of complete, construction-ready engineering packages for RAN head-end deployments supporting In-Building Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS).
This role serves as the technical bridge between RF Engineering, Architecture & Engineering (A&E), Project Management, Construction, venue stakeholders, and carrier partners. You will transform approved RF designs into fully buildable construction packages by evaluating constructability, coordinating engineering disciplines, determining entitlement requirements, and producing detailed Scopes of Work (SOW), Bills of Materials (BOMs), and Construction Drawings (CDs).
Your work will directly reduce change orders, improve construction quality, accelerate deployment schedules, and ensure successful first-time-right installations across complex in-building wireless infrastructure projects.
Project Manager - Cellular RAN Design & Construction Scoping Duties and Responsibilities:- Lead engineering execution from approved RF Design Sheets (RFDS) through construction-ready engineering packages.
- Coordinate with Architecture & Engineering (A&E) firms, venue representatives, landlords, structural engineers, utilities, and internal stakeholders to develop complete Construction Drawing (CD) packages.
- Evaluate site constructability, infrastructure constraints, equipment placement, pathway routing, and installation feasibility.
- Determine entitlement, zoning, permitting, landlord approval, and jurisdictional requirements required for deployment.
- Review lease exhibits, venue documentation, field surveys, structural analyses, and engineering reports to identify and mitigate deployment risks.
- Develop comprehensive Scopes of Work (SOWs), Bills of Materials (BOMs), installation specifications, and construction documentation for field execution.
- Define equipment layouts, mounting solutions, fiber pathways, DC power distribution, grounding, and cable routing requirements.
- Drive engineering schedules, technical deliverables, and cross-functional coordination to support project milestones and construction readiness.
- Serve as the primary engineering liaison between RF Engineering, A&E, Project Management, Construction Management, and field teams throughout the engineering handoff process.
- Identify engineering conflicts early and develop practical solutions that minimize field changes, construction delays, and cost impacts.
- Support carrier design reviews, customer meetings, and technical discussions throughout project execution.
