Director, Business Development

Data Center Construction, Dark Fiber & Turnkey Infrastructure (U.S. & Canada)

ROHL Global Networks is the cross-border digital infrastructure platform of the ROHL Group of Companies. In the United States and Canada, we are a large constructor of fiber optic networks and renewable energy projects, with in-house electrical and civil construction capabilities on both sides of the border. In Canada, we also own and operate long-haul dark fiber in Alberta — one of North America's fastest-growing data center markets. We build what we sell: routes, conduit, connectivity, and power.

Alberta is emerging as a premier destination for AI and hyperscale data center development, driven by available power, land, cold climate, and competitive economics. Paired with our fiber and renewable energy construction operations across both countries, this positions us to deliver turnkey site, space, and power solutions for edge compute and data center requirements. We are hiring our first U.S.-based business development leader to carry that combined offering to market.

Your primary focus is sales. You will pursue fiber optic construction opportunities on both the U.S. and Canadian sides of the market, target U.S. and international customers for dark fiber IRUs on our Alberta, Canada network and for network construction, and sell turnkey site, space, and power solutions in Canada. Fiber optic construction efforts will center on the edge compute and data center verticals across Alaska and the Lower 48.

We expect dark fiber demand from American, European, and Asian companies in the edge compute, data center, and IT verticals — including hyperscaler network sourcing teams, data center developers and operators, edge compute providers, carriers, and infrastructure investors. IRU and telecom connectivity opportunities include clients seeking terrestrial connectivity between the Lower 48 and Alaska through Canada, as well as traffic from data center and edge compute sites in Alberta transiting to the Lower 48 and/or Alaska.

This is a hunter role. You will be backed by an established fiber network, owned construction capacity, direct relationships with Alberta utilities and the provincial grid operator, and existing carrier relationships in Alaska supporting cross-border traffic between Alaska, Canada, and the Lower 48. You will report directly to the CEO.
