What does a day in the life of a Coal Creek Project Manager really look like?

It starts with coffee—and a constant balancing act.

Project Managers review schedules, forecast timelines, meet with clients and internal teams, follow up on action items, manage budgets and risks, update trackers, and solve problems before they grow.

Their role is to bring clients, teammates, vendors, schedules, budgets, and countless moving pieces together to keep wireless projects moving from kickoff to completion.

And when a project win finally happens? Celebrate for about 30 seconds—then it is back to the next deadline.

What does a day in the life of a Coal Creek A&E AutoCAD Drafter really look like?

It starts with coffee—and a puzzle made up of survey data, site photos, engineering requirements, client standards, and local codes.

From creating and updating drawing sets to coordinating with Project Managers and engineers, responding to review comments, and completing quality control checks, every detail matters.

Long before construction begins, our A&E AutoCAD Drafters are creating the plans that support zoning, permitting, engineering, and construction.

Their work turns field information into accurate designs—and those designs into wireless sites that help keep people connected.

What does a day in the life of a Coal Creek Site Acquisition Specialist really look like?

It starts with coffee—and usually includes lease negotiations, zoning and permitting applications, site walks, client updates, approval tracking, unexpected roadblocks, and probably more coffee.

No two days are ever the same.

Site Acquisition Specialists help guide wireless projects through the complex leasing, zoning, and permitting process long before construction begins. The role requires communication, persistence, problem-solving, and the ability to build trust with property owners, clients, municipalities, and project partners.

Because, as one team member explained, “People think it’s about cell phones. It’s really about people.”

One day you're negotiating lease terms with a property owner. The next you're speaking at a zoning hearing. The day after that you're tracking down a signature from someone who moved across the country years ago... or coordinating with a family member to get documents signed from a state penitentiar...

What does a day in the life of a Coal Creek Construction Manager really look like?

It starts with coffee, a full inbox, and a phone already ringing. From contractor calls and utility coordination to site visits, schedule changes, and unexpected problems, no two days are ever quite the same.

The work is fast-paced and unpredictable, but the goal remains the same: keep projects moving forward and get wireless sites on air.

⚾ A day at the ballpark with our Arizona team!

This week, members of our Coal Creek Consulting Arizona team headed out to Chase Field for an afternoon away from the office, some time together as a team, and a LOT of Diamondbacks offense!

We couldn’t have picked a much better game to attend. The D-backs put on a show with five home runs and a 15-5 win over the Athletics! ⚾🔥

It was a great opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, connect outside of work, and enjoy some baseball alongside several of our industry partners.

We’re grateful for a team that works hard, supports one another, and values the relationships we build both within Coal Creek and throughout the wireless industry.

Thanks to everyone who joined us at the ballpark!

What a weekend for our Salt Lake City team!

Last Saturday, our team gathered for a picnic in the park. It may have been a little warm, but there were plenty of smiles as everyone enjoyed delicious BBQ, great company, bags boards and a friendly game of baseball game.

The fun continued on Sunday when a few of our bravest team members headed to Snowbasin Resort to take on a Spartan Race. They completed 3.2 miles and 20 obstacles, with every participant crossing the finish line and earning a medal!

From sharing BBQ and laughs in the park to tackling obstacles on the mountain, it was a weekend filled with teamwork, connection, and plenty of great memories. We are incredibly proud of our Spartan finishers and grateful for everyone who joined us for such a fun weekend!

This Fourth of July, we celebrate more than our nation's independence. We celebrate the connections that have shaped who we are and where we're headed.

As America marks 250 years, one thing is clear: progress has always depended on connection across communities, generations, and ideas. It's what turns individual effort into collective progress.

At Coal Creek Consulting, connectivity isn't just our business. It's our purpose. We're proud to help communities stay connected, grow stronger, and move forward together.

Wishing you a safe, meaningful, and happy Fourth of July.

The Infrastructure Behind Summer Travel

Millions of people will hit the road, take flights, attend concerts, and visit vacation destinations this summer.

What many don't see is the wireless infrastructure working behind the scenes to keep those calls connected, maps loading, and photos uploading.

From new site deployments, network upgrades, and temporary capacity solutions for major events, the telecommunications industry continues to expand capacity to meet growing demand.

We're proud to play a role in building the networks that keep people connected wherever summer takes them.
