Position Summary

Elite Pro Technology is seeking a Senior Project Manager to take full ownership of complex commercial AVL, IT, network, low-voltage and technology integration projects from sales handoff through final closeout.

The Senior Project Manager is responsible for ensuring projects are properly planned, staffed, coordinated, communicated, financially controlled and completed to Elite Pro Technology's standards and requires regular visits to the job site to keep the team and the job on track.

The SPM has the authority to schedule and direct project resources and is accountable for project outcomes, including schedule, labor performance, customer communication, scope control, quality and gross margin.

Success Measures

• Schedule performance
  Projects reach contractual and internally committed milestones on time.
• Gross-margin protection
  Target gross margin is maintained, with a normal expectation percentage unless specifically approved otherwise.
• Labor performance
  Projects are properly planned and delivered at or below budgeted labor hours.
• Scope and change-order management
  Additional work is identified, documented and converted into approved change orders before significant uncompensated work occurs.
• Quality and closeout
  Systems are delivered to company standards with minimal callbacks, rework and lingering punch-list items.
• Independent project ownership
  Projects progress without routine owner intervention. Risks are identified, communicated and solved proactively.

Core Responsibilities

Project planning and execution

• Review contract documents, proposals, scopes, drawings, estimates and equipment lists before project launch.
• Identify scope gaps, risks, constructability concerns and coordination issues before field work begins.
• Develop and maintain the project schedule, milestones and labor plan.
• Coordinate multiple simultaneous projects and competing resource requirements.
• Ensure work begins with the required information, equipment, labor and site readiness.
• Lead project kickoff, coordination and progress meetings.

• Understand the estimated labor, materials, subcontractor costs and gross-margin expectations for each project.
• Track actual performance against budget throughout the project.
• Forecast labor and material variances before they become significant overruns.
• Protect project gross margin through scope management, labor planning, change-order capture and early corrective action.
• Identify and document out-of-scope work.
• Initiate change orders promptly and ensure unauthorized scope does not become uncompensated work.
• Participate in final profitability review and lessons learned.

Field leadership

• Schedule and direct field supervisors, technicians and subcontractors assigned to the project.
• Establish clear expectations regarding deliverables, sequencing and completion dates.
• Ensure supervisors have sufficient information to execute without continual escalation.
• Inspect work quality and confirm installations meet company standards, drawings, scope and customer expectations.
• Resolve field problems decisively while escalating material contractual or financial issues when necessary.

Customer and stakeholder management

• Serve as the primary project-level customer contact.
• Maintain professional, proactive communication regarding schedule, progress, decisions, risks and changes.
• Coordinate with general contractors, architects, consultants, electricians, IT departments, owners and other trades.
• Manage customer expectations without making commitments outside approved scope or budget.
• Protect the long-term customer relationship while protecting Elite Pro Technology's contractual and financial interests.

Procurement and material readiness

• Provide Operations/Procurement with complete, accurate and timely equipment requirements.
• Confirm long-lead items and…
