ASSOCIATE PROJECT MANAGER – AV & LOW-VOLTAGE INTEGRATION

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our company is one of the leading residential AV and integration technology companies in the tri-state area, and we're hiring an Associate Project Manager to help run our most demanding luxury AV, home automation, and low-voltage integration projects. You'll handle day-to-day project coordination on assigned jobs — scheduling, documentation, site visits, and communication among technicians, clients, and other trades — while developing toward independent management of your own projects.

Pay: $70,000–$90,000/year, commensurate with experience. Full-time, salaried, with a company vehicle, laptop, and cellphone provided.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Support project managers on complex AV and low-voltage integration projects, and independently manage smaller projects as experience grows.
• Act as a point of contact between our team, clients, and other trades such as general contractors, electricians, and interior designers.
• Review plans, proposals, scopes, schedules, and specifications; maintain project spec books, equipment lists, and job documentation.
• Write clear emails, meeting recaps, RFIs, status reports, punch lists, and client and contractor communications.
• Track open items, decisions, approvals, submittals, equipment, lead times, and project milestones.
• Visit jobsites and verify field conditions match the drawings and project requirements.
• Generate progress reports following project site visits and new project surveys.
• Identify problems early and raise them before they affect schedule, cost, or quality.
• Coordinate daily task assignments for field technicians and brief them before deployment to site.
• Receive end-of-day debriefs from technicians and plan the following day accordingly.
• Draft change orders for project manager review.
• Produce rack sketches and simple architectural drawings in AutoCAD, and mark up and edit drawings to keep documentation current.
• Maintain jobs in our project-management system.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 1–2 years of experience with audio, video, or lighting systems, construction, or general low-voltage/AV installation — or in project coordination, architecture, engineering, or interiors.
• Ability to read architectural and electrical drawings and learn construction documentation.
• Familiarity with residential home control systems such as Crestron, Lutron, Savant, or Control4, or related home automation and entertainment hardware.
• A deep interest in learning new technologies and hardware.
• Strong writing skills, with the ability to communicate a high level of detail concisely.
• Confidence to speak directly by phone and in person with clients, architects, designers, builders, electricians, and vendors when it will resolve something faster than email.
• Ability to work with a team to solve complex, critical-path challenges.
• Ability to juggle many open items without losing track of details, staying proactive about following up and closing loops.
• Ability to draft in AutoCAD; mid-to-advanced proficiency with Excel and Microsoft Office; willingness to learn manufacturer programming platforms.
• Comfortable visiting active construction sites.
• Associate or bachelor's degree in construction management, architecture, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• A valid U.S. driver's license.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• $70,000–$90,000/year, full-time salaried.
• Health insurance, with optional dental and vision.
• Life insurance and employee assistance program.
• Flexible spending account.
• 401(k) with up to 4% company match.
• 16 days PTO plus 10 paid holidays.
• Company-sponsored certification training and professional development.
• Company vehicle, laptop, and cellphone provided.
• Employee discount.
