Position Overview
As a Drop Supervisor, you lead your own in-house drop installation crew in the field every day, working alongside your team to connect subscribers to the network. You own the performance of your crew and the safety of your job sites, setting the pace, holding the standard, and stepping in whenever a job needs a hand or a problem needs solving.
Your crew is doing the hands-on work that turns Stimulus's SLFRF and BEAD-funded fiber builds into active, connected service across rural Nevada. You report to the Drop Installation Manager, who sets overall crew strategy and coordinates across multiple crews and project areas; you own the day-to-day leadership and execution of your specific crew.
For the right candidate, this is an opportunity to run your own crew, lead from the front, and be known for quality and safety on every job while staying close to the tools.
Essential Functions
Drop Installation Operations
- Plan and direct daily drop installation activities for your crew within assigned work areas.
- Ensure all subscriber drop installations completed by your crew meet Stimulus Technologies installation standards, project specifications, and manufacturer guidelines.
- Track your crew's daily production against grant-mandated and program-specific timelines; flag at-risk areas to the Drop Installation Manager.
- Coordinate day-to-day scheduling with the Drop Installation Manager to align with network readiness and service activation milestones.
- Conduct quality inspections of your crew's completed drop installations to verify workmanship, proper routing, adequate slack storage, and correct labeling and documentation.
- Maintain material inventory and staging for your crew's daily assignments; escalate potential shortages to the Drop Installation Manager.
- Maintain accurate daily production records for your crew, including unit counts, addresses, completion status, and any exceptions or rework items.
- Identify and resolve field-level issues for your crew, including access problems, routing conflicts, and customer scheduling issues; escalate permit or easement constraints to the Drop Installation Manager.
Team Leadership and Training
- Directly supervise and lead your crew in the field on a daily basis, working alongside crew members as needed.
