Program Manager

Description

ActioNet has an immediate opening for a Program Manager with 7+ years of experience leading IT, procurement, logistics, and network infrastructure projects-wireless network experience is preferred.

The Program Manager will lead execution and scaling of a Telecommunications Utility and Grid initiative supporting large-scale telecommunications infrastructure modernization and sustainment.

This role integrates outside plant (OSP) and premise cabling telecommunications infrastructure modernization, governance alignment (Roles & Responsibilities framework), sustainment operations, facility power integration, and deployment of an Operational Digital Twin (ODT). The Program Manager ensures alignment across infrastructure stakeholders, operational teams, and industry partners.

This is a critical infrastructure leadership role - not a traditional IT program management position.

Infrastructure & Resilience Integration

• Integrate telecommunications with facility systems (power, grounding, HVAC, generators).
• Drive resilience strategy including backup communications nodes and power continuity.
• Address environmental risks impacting OSP (corrosion, water intrusion, coastal exposure).

Digital Control Layer Deployment

• Oversee deployment of a Telecommunications Grid Operational Digital Twin (ODT).
• Ensure vendor-agnostic integration across OEM platforms.
• Align ODT with enterprise systems (GIS, MAXIMO, Help Desk, TMS).
• Maintain authoritative digital representation of OSP and premise cabling infrastructure assets.

Partner & Stakeholder Integration

• Lead coordination with teaming partners and subcontractors.
• Serve as the primary interface among stakeholders, partners, and project leadership.
• Ensure compliance with acquisition regulations and conflict-of-interest requirements.
• Manage transition from capture to execution seamlessly.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years managing complex DoD, Federal, or large-scale infrastructure programs.
• Demonstrated experience managing OSP and premise cabling telecommunications infrastructure.
• Experience supporting large campus, utility, installation, or distributed infrastructure environments preferred.
• Strong understanding of fiber optic networks, structured cabling, duct banks, manholes, vaults, and copper transition strategies.
• Experience leading sustainment-focused infrastructure programs.
• Familiarity with governance and RACI-based accountability models.
• Experience integrating cybersecurity and RMF requirements.
• Active Secret clearance required; TS eligibility preferred.

Preferred Qualifications

• BICSI certification (RCDD, OSP, or equivalent) strongly preferred.
• Experience with BICSI standards and structured cabling best practices.
• Background in infrastructure, facilities, or real property integration.
• Experience with power resilience systems supporting telecommunications infrastructure.
