Google’s ultra-fast Internet service has not yet confirmed it will launch in Portland.

But Google Fiber posted a job announcement for a plant manager.

The job posting is an indication Google may be getting really seriously serious, for reals—after previous job postings meant mostly for advance and scouting duties. Portlanders are lobbying aggressively for the service—because it’s an awesome service.

Here’s what the new job entails, according to the posting:

  • Oversee the design of the Outside Plant Fiber Network from beginning with Prelim Design through to a fully constructible job package.
  • Program manage the production of efficient designs for new development, network relocations and network upgrades.
  • Establish relationship with local third-parties and ensure efficient process are in place.
  • Support finance metric development, reporting and dashboard reporting.
