In this role, you’ll collaborate with Field Project Managers, Foremen, and installation teams to design and deliver high-performing AV systems across multiple concurrent projects.

• Set clear quality expectations for each project and perform periodic field audits to ensure standards are met.
• Maintain critical timelines through proactive communication and scheduling coordination.
• Develop and track completion checklists and room-by-room sign-offs to ensure every detail meets spec.
• Provide mentorship and corrective guidance when needed, turning challenges into learning opportunities.
• Serve as the communication link between field teams, engineering, and the FPM.
• Document and escalate any scope changes, additional requests, or design modifications.
• Coordinate change orders and ensure all additional work is properly captured and approved.
• Support project acceptance and client training alongside the FPM.
• Review unused equipment lists, coordinating transfers or RMAs as appropriate.
• Ensure all punch list items are completed, documented, and accepted.
• Deliver all closeout materials—including documentation, test results, and as-builts—to the FPM.
