Fiber and Broadband Construction Recruiting

 

Broadband buildouts are moving faster than crews can be hired. When you can't staff a drill crew or find a construction manager willing to travel, projects slip and penalties pile up. SimpleHire recruits the people fiber contractors need most, for one flat monthly price.

​

Fiber Roles We Recruit

Horizontal directional drill (HDD) operators, drill crew foremen and laborers, utility locators, fiber splicers and splicing technicians, aerial linemen and underground crew members, outside plant (OSP) construction managers and project managers, field supervisors and inspectors, and permitting coordinators and engineering support.

8 Years Recruiting for Fiber and Telecom Construction

Our founder spent 8 years recruiting locators, drill operators and construction leaders for underground utility and telecom projects, including buildouts for major national carriers and the contractors who build their networks. That experience shapes how we search and screen.

• We ask the right questions: rig size and brand experience, footage per day, rock versus dirt, locate ticket volume, splicing certifications and travel willingness.

• We know where these workers are. Most good operators and locators are not on job boards. We reach them directly through trade networks, referrals and direct outreach.

• We understand travel work. Many fiber roles require weeks on the road. We confirm per diem expectations, housing and travel availability up front, so offers don't fall apart later.

​

The Problems We Solve for Fiber Contractors

• New project, no crew: you won a contract in a new state and need a full crew within weeks.

• High turnover: operators leave for a dollar more an hour. We help you find people who fit and stay.

• Leadership gaps: construction and project managers who can run multiple crews are rare. We search nationally for them.

• No time to recruit: your managers are running jobs, not reading resumes. We take the searching and screening off their plate.​

 

You pay the same whether we fill one role or ten that month. There are no per-hire fees on monthly plans.

Common Questions

• How fast can you find an HDD operator? It depends on location, rig experience and pay. We start outreach within days of our first call, and most clients interview screened candidates within the first two weeks.

• Do you recruit for traveling crews? Yes. We recruit for projects nationwide and screen every candidate for travel availability before you see them.

• Can you staff a whole crew at once? Yes. Our Growth and Enterprise plans are built for multiple openings, including full crew builds for new projects.
