• Develop project schedules, labor plans, material requirements, milestones, and installation strategies.

• Coordinate field supervisors, technicians, subcontractors, vendors, general contractors, and other trades to maintain schedules and workflow.

• Monitor project progress, identify risks, and implement corrective actions to address schedule, cost, scope, and quality concerns.

• Maintain project documentation, including submittals, RFIs, change orders, progress reports, test results, punch lists, and closeout packages.

• Lead, coach, and hold field supervisors, lead technicians, installers, and apprentices accountable for performance, safety, productivity, and quality.

• Manage project budgets, labor utilization, material costs, forecasts, billing milestones, and gross margins.

• Partner with sales and estimating teams to validate project scope, labor assumptions, material costs, subcontractor pricing, schedules, and risks before proposals are submitted.

• Identify and document scope changes, prepare change orders, and secure approval before additional work is performed.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for customers, general contractors, vendors, subcontractors, and internal stakeholders.

• Lead project kickoff, coordination, progress, and closeout meetings while maintaining clear communication and resolving issues professionally.

• Ensure installations meet project specifications, applicable BICSI/TIA and NEC requirements, company quality standards, and safety practices.

• Provide technical oversight for copper and fiber systems, pathways, MDF/IDF buildouts, testing, labeling, and troubleshooting.

• Identify opportunities to improve project planning, reporting, team development, operational efficiency, and project profitability.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 7 years of experience in structured cabling, telecommunications, or low-voltage systems, including at least 3 years in project management, supervision, or operations leadership.

• Proven ability to manage multiple projects and lead field teams, supervisors, technicians, and subcontractors.

• Strong working knowledge of copper and fiber cabling, pathways, MDF/IDF environments, testing, labeling, and industry standards.

• Ability to read and interpret scopes of work, blueprints, specifications, CAD drawings, riser diagrams, RFPs, and construction documents.

• Working knowledge of estimating, project budgeting, labor forecasting, procurement, change-order management, and project profitability.

• Strong communication, organization, leadership, decision-making, and problem-solving skills.

• Proficiency with Microsoft 365 and project management, estimating, or construction-document platforms.

• Valid Florida driver's license with a clean driving record.

• Ability to pass background checks required for government site access.

Preferred Qualifications

• BICSI certification, such as Installer, Technician, or RCDD.

• PMP certification or comparable project management training.

• OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification.

• Experience with healthcare, government, Department of Defense, or other regulated projects.

• Familiarity with public safety DAS, access control, security systems, audio/video, or outside plant (OSP) fiber.

• Experience with AutoCAD and Bluebeam.

Measures of Success

• Delivering projects safely, on schedule, within budget, and in accordance with quality requirements.

• Maintaining accurate forecasts, controlling project scope, and securing timely change-order approvals.

• Protecting project profitability through effective labor planning, cost management, and gross-margin accountability.

• Developing strong field teams through coaching, accountability, and training.

• Building lasting customer relationships through clear communication, reliable execution, and effective issue resolution.

• Supporting competitive, accurately scoped proposals that balance win rates with project costs and profitability.
