Home Based Wireless Project Manager Jobs in El Segundo, CA

Position Overview:

The Technology Project Manager (TPM) is responsible for the full lifecycle planning, programming, budgeting, design coordination, procurement oversight, installation management, systems integration, and operational turnover of technology systems across new construction and modernization projects.

Operating within a publicly funded capital construction environment, the TPM ensures that all technology infrastructure and equipment are properly scoped, funded, designed, procured, constructed, integrated, tested, and transitioned to operations in alignment with operational needs.

This role serves as the primary technical liaison between the Office of Information Technology (OIT), Project Teams, consultants, contractors, vendors, and system integrators. The TPM is accountable for technology scope integrity, cost control, constructability compliance, systems interoperability, and successful operational turnover.

Position Description:

• Successfully manage and execute 5–10 concurrent projects, typically ranging from $1M to $25M in value
• Lead full lifecycle delivery of technology systems across multiple concurrent capital construction projects, ensuring alignment with bond funding, District standards, construction schedules, and operational readiness requirements.
• Develop technology whitepapers, Program Equipment Worksheets (PEWs), lifecycle cost models, and rebaseline analyses; validate scope evolution, equipment budgets, and funding impacts to maintain fiscal discipline and audit readiness.
• Define and document comprehensive technology scope during A&E programming and design, including Voice & Unified Communications, structured cabling systems (copper and fiber backbone), network switching, wireless infrastructure, access control systems, security cameras and video management systems, intrusion detection, emergency phones, mass notification platforms, UPS/power resiliency, and audiovisual systems for classrooms, conference rooms, theatres, performance venues, and hyflex learning environments.
• Coordinate structured cabling design standards including pathway planning, cable tray systems, rack elevations, grounding and bonding, labeling, testing, certification, and scalability to support voice, data, security, and AV systems.
• Participate in all design phases and conduct structured Bluebeam milestone reviews to validate device density, camera coverage, access control door hardware coordination, AV infrastructure requirements, telecom room (BDF/MDF/IDF) sizing and layouts, power and cooling capacity, pathway adequacy, and constructability compliance prior to bid.
• Serve as the technical authority for pre-bid inquiries, procurement clarifications, RFIs, submittal reviews, and Requests for Change (RFCs), evaluating product substitutions and system equivalency while maintaining scope integrity and preventing unintended scope creep.
• Develop and manage detailed technology equipment and infrastructure budgets; support public procurement processes; review contractor proposals; and analyze change orders for scope validity, cost reasonableness, integration impacts, and schedule risk while identifying value engineering and cost containment opportunities.
• Oversee procurement, delivery, and installation sequencing of structured cabling, security systems, VoIP platforms, network equipment, AV systems, and supporting infrastructure to ensure coordinated installation and interoperability across trades.
• Ensure seamless systems integration between access control, security cameras, emergency phones, mass notification, VoIP, network switching, structured cabling, UPS systems, and audiovisual platforms, validating interoperability, connectivity, and performance prior to
