This position is crucial for securing strategic sites that enable reliable, high-speed connectivity, directly impacting our ability to serve growing customer demands and compete in the dynamic telecom industry. Your expertise will drive infrastructure development, ensuring our network reaches new heights of performance and coverage. In this role, you will spearhead the end-to-end site acquisition process, starting with scouting potential locations using GIS tools and market analysis to identify high-value sites for cell towers, small cells, and fiber routes. Daily tasks include conducting site feasibility studies, assessing terrain, zoning compliance, and RF propagation potential, followed by negotiating leases and easements with property owners, achieving cost-effective deals under tight timelines. Weekly, you'll collaborate with engineering, legal, and construction teams to review site plans, resolve permitting hurdles, and prepare regulatory submissions to local authorities. Monthly deliverables encompass portfolio reviews, tracking key metrics like acquisition velocity, lease costs per site, and project ROI, while managing a pipeline of 20-30 sites in various stages. You will also oversee vendor relationships, conduct due diligence on environmental impacts, and lead cross-functional meetings to align on expansion priorities, ensuring seamless project handoffs to deployment teams. To succeed, candidates must hold a Bachelor's degree in Business, Real Estate, Engineering, or a related field, with 5-7 years of progressive experience in telecommunications site acquisition or wireless infrastructure development. Proven track record in lease negotiations, regulatory compliance with FCC and local zoning laws, and familiarity with tools like Google Earth Pro, SiteLink, and AutoCAD is essential. Industry certifications such as CTNS or knowledge of NEPA environmental reviews are highly preferred, alongside experience managing budgets exceeding $1M annually in site portfolios. Beyond technical prowess, you will bring strong negotiation skills to secure favorable terms, exceptional communication to liaise with stakeholders from landowners to government officials, and analytical abilities to evaluate site economics and risks.
