• Coordinate with internal teams including network investment, engineering, legal, policy, communications, and Environmental Health & Safety (EHS).
• Engage external suppliers and regulatory agencies on permits and approvals.
• Develop and communicate environmental obligations across design, construction, and operations teams.
• Develop training materials and tools to build environmental awareness and compliance culture.

What We're Looking For

• Proven track record of communicating and collaborating effectively with global, cross-functional stakeholders across time zones and cultures.
• Strong project and data management skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Comfortable working independently with limited local support in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 25% of the time.

Preferred

• Experience in environmental permitting for fibre optic and/or international subsea telecom projects.
