Dryden Fiber is looking for an experienced telecommunications Fiber Deployment Manager to assist in the continuing build out of the network and to then manage the network.
Understanding Fiber Optic Handholes in the Dryden Fiber Network
As Dryden Fiber continues expanding high-speed internet service across our community, residents may notice small beige or tan covers appearing near roadsides, lawns, or sidewalks. These underground access points are called handholes (sometimes called vaults), and they are a critical part of building and maintaining a modern fiber-optic network.
DRYDEN — Dryden Fiber Executive Director David Makar said he realized he wanted to do a community survey a few months into the position. Years later, that goal is becoming real as he works with Cornell students on a survey for the municipal run internet service provider.
The month of March brings the official start of spring and we’re hopeful for warmer weather to support the continued construction of Dryden Fiber across the town. Today, Dryden Fiber reaches over 1,800 parcels across town. Our goal is that by the end of the year, 100% of the inhabited parcels have service available.
March 3, 2026 Update: We've filled this role. Thank you to the candidates who applied.
