Alarm Project Manager information

What is an alarm project manager?

Alarm Project Managers are professionals responsible for overseeing the design, installation, and maintenance of alarm systems, such as fire, security, or intrusion alarms, for residential, commercial, or industrial clients. They coordinate project schedules, manage budgets, and ensure that installations comply with local codes and customer requirements. Alarm Project Managers also communicate with clients, vendors, and technicians to ensure projects are completed on time and within scope, while maintaining safety and quality standards.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an alarm project manager?

To excel as an Alarm Project Manager, you need expertise in project management, alarm system installation, and knowledge of industry standards, often supported by a degree in engineering or a related field. Familiarity with project management software (e.g., MS Project), CAD design tools, and certifications like PMP or NICET are commonly required. Strong leadership, problem-solving, and clear communication skills set top performers apart in managing teams and client expectations. These competencies are essential to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and meet safety and compliance standards.

How does an alarm project manager typically collaborate with other departments during a project?

As an Alarm Project Manager, effective collaboration with various departments is crucial for project success. You will regularly coordinate with engineering teams for system design, procurement for sourcing equipment, and installation crews for on-site work. Additionally, close communication with sales and client representatives ensures that project specifications meet customer expectations and that any issues are addressed promptly. This cross-functional teamwork helps keep projects on schedule and within budget while maintaining a high standard of safety and compliance.

What is the difference between Alarm Project Manager vs Alarm Technician?

The Alarm Project Manager focuses on planning, coordinating, and overseeing alarm system projects, ensuring timely delivery and client satisfaction. In contrast, the Alarm Technician handles the hands-on installation, maintenance, and repair of alarm systems. Both roles require technical knowledge, but the Project Manager emphasizes management skills and project oversight, while the Technician emphasizes technical expertise and on-site work.

Job description

Total Industrial Solutions (TIS) is looking for an experienced Industrial Construction Project Manager to join our growing team in West Michigan.

TIS specializes in complex industrial fire protection projects throughout the United States. Our work includes refineries, fuel terminals, manufacturing facilities, loading racks, aircraft facilities, and other industrial and high-hazard environments.

Fire protection experience is preferred, but it is not required.

We are interested in experienced Project Managers from industrial construction, mechanical contracting, process piping, electrical, controls, fire protection, and similar construction backgrounds. If you understand how to manage industrial construction projects, people, customers, schedules, and budgets, we can teach you the specialized fire protection side of our business.

What You'll Do

As a Project Manager, you will have responsibility for your projects from planning through completion, working directly with customers, field personnel, subcontractors, vendors, and our internal team.

Responsibilities include:

  • Manage industrial construction projects from award through completion
  • Coordinate field labor, materials, equipment, subcontractors and project schedules
  • Maintain strong communication with customers and project stakeholders
  • Review project scope, drawings, specifications and contract requirements
  • Track project costs, labor, schedules and overall financial performance
  • Identify scope changes and manage change orders
  • Coordinate with engineering and design teams
  • Assist with procurement and vendor coordination
  • Support field supervisors and crews throughout project execution
  • Participate in project meetings and customer coordination
  • Help identify and resolve project issues before they impact schedule or budget
  • Maintain project documentation and closeout requirements
  • Travel to customer sites as needed

The Background We're Looking For

We are less concerned about finding someone who checks every box and more interested in finding a strong construction professional who knows how to take ownership of a project.

  • Industrial construction
  • Mechanical contracting
  • Process piping
  • Fire protection
  • Electrical or controls
  • Oil & gas or petrochemical facilities
  • Manufacturing or heavy industrial construction
  • Other technically complex construction environments

Previous Project Manager experience is preferred, but we will also consider experienced Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, Superintendents or field leaders who are ready to move into a Project Manager role.

What We Value

We're looking for someone who:

  • Takes ownership and follows through
  • Communicates well with customers and field personnel
  • Understands construction schedules and job costs
  • Can manage multiple priorities without losing sight of the details
  • Is comfortable making decisions and solving problems
  • Understands the importance of safety and quality
  • Works well independently while still being part of a team
  • Wants an opportunity to grow with a rapidly expanding organization

Experience with specialized industrial fire protection systemsincluding firewater, foam, deluge, dry chemical, special hazards, fire alarm/detection or suppression systemsis a plus, but we will train the right candidate.

Why TIS?

This isn't a typical construction PM position.

Our team works on challenging industrial projects throughout the country for major companies in the energy, manufacturing and industrial markets. Our Project Managers have the opportunity to work directly with customers and have meaningful involvement in how their projects are executed.

TIS continues to grow, creating opportunities for people who want more responsibility, autonomy and long-term career growth.

We offer a competitive compensation package including:

  • Competitive base salary based on experience
  • Performance-based bonus opportunity
  • Vehicle allowance/company vehicle program
  • Company-provided phone and computer
  • Travel expenses and per diem as applicable
  • Long-term advancement opportunities

Location: Grand Rapids / West Michigan
Travel: Some travel required based on project needs
Employment: Full-time
