- *Role Overview**
Are you a Project Manager who knows the difference between a punch list and a frequency plan? We are looking for a Project Manager specializing in Radio Communications to oversee the design, deployment, and hand-off of mission-critical VHF/UHF systems for our large-scale construction clients. You will be the primary point of contact for General Contractors and site owners, ensuring that our technical teams (Lead Techs and Field Techs) have the resources, site access, and documentation they need to succeed. If you can speak "Construction" and "RF" fluently, we want you on our team.
- *Key Responsibilities
- Project Lifecycle Management: Oversee LMR projects from initial site survey and system design through to final testing, FCC licensing, and close-out.
- Client Advocacy: Act as the main liaison for construction managers and general contractors, attending site meetings and ensuring our deliverables align with the broader build schedule.
- Resource Coordination: Schedule and dispatch Field Technicians, ensuring all equipment (Motorola, Tait, Kenwood, etc.) is staged and ready for installation.
- Budget & P&L: Manage project budgets, track labor hours, and oversee the procurement of specialized RF hardware and infrastructure.
- Compliance & Safety: Ensure all on-site work meets OSHA standards and specific construction site safety requirements.
- Documentation: Manage submittals, Change Orders (COs), RFIs, and "as-built" documentation to ensure 100% project transparency.
- *Qualifications & Requirements
- Industry Experience: 3–5 years of Project Management experience specifically within the Land Mobile Radio (LMR), RF, or Telecommunications space.
- Construction Knowledge: Familiarity with large-scale construction workflows, including reading blueprints, understanding MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) coordination, and site safety protocols.
- Technical Understanding: While you aren't turning the wrench, you must understand VHF/UHF systems, trunking, and basic RF principles to effectively communicate with clients and techs.
- Software Proficiency: Experience with PM software (e.g., MS Project, Procore, or Smartsheet), Bluebeam, and the Microsoft Office Suite.
- Leadership: Proven ability to manage multi-disciplinary teams and hold subcontractors/vendors accountable to deadlines.
- Certification: PMP certification is a strong plus; OSHA 30 is highly preferred.

We offer a high-performance culture with a benefits package that reflects our commitment to our leadership team:
- Health & Wellness: Premium Medical, Dental, and Vision plans with low employee premiums.
