AI Talent Now job # ZR 107

Exciting opportunity with a leading provider of facilities management!

Project Manager – Technology & Construction

Deployments

Summary of Role

Our dynamic client is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead complex technology

deployments within large-scale commercial and public facilities. This role requires a

unique combination of project management, construction/site coordination, technology

implementation, and client leadership.

The Project Manager owns projects from post-sale handoff through planning, site

readiness, installation, configuration, testing, training, go-live, and final closeout. Deployments often involve the installation and integration of IoT sensors, gateways, digital signage, networking/connectivity, mobile applications, and cloud-

based software within active facilities. Projects may require coordination with airport

authorities, facility teams, general contractors, electrical contractors, low-voltage

contractors, IT/networking teams, janitorial partners, technology vendors, and other

stakeholders.

The Project Manager is ultimately accountable for ensuring projects are delivered on

time, within scope, within budget, technically ready, and with a high level of client

satisfaction.

Key Responsibilities

Project Ownership & Delivery

Own assigned projects from internal sales handoff through final client acceptance

and project closeout.

Develop and maintain comprehensive project plans including scope, schedule,

milestones, responsibilities, dependencies, risks, budget, installation activities,

training, go-live, and closeout.

Establish clear project milestones and proactively manage adherence to project

schedules.

Maintain accurate project documentation, status reports, action items, decision

logs, and project records.

Identify risks, delays, scope gaps, and potential roadblocks early and develop

corrective action plans before they impact delivery.

Manage multiple concurrent projects across different customers, locations, and

stages of implementation.

Drive projects forward independently rather than waiting for clients, vendors, or

internal departments to determine next steps.

Ensure all stakeholders understand upcoming deadlines, dependencies,

responsibilities, and required deliverables.

Construction; Site Coordination

Coordinate technology installations within active construction and operational

environments.

Review project plans, floor plans, site drawings, installation layouts, equipment

locations, and other project documentation as applicable.

Participate in site walks and pre-installation meetings to validate field conditions

and installation requirements.

Coordinate with general contractors, electrical contractors, low-voltage

contractors, facility teams, IT teams, and other trades to ensure installation

requirements are incorporated into the overall project schedule.

Understand construction sequencing and identify dependencies that may affect

technology installation or commissioning.

Coordinate site access, badging, security requirements, escorts, work hours,

loading/access requirements, staging areas, and other site logistics.

Confirm site readiness prior to mobilization, including power, network

connectivity, mounting locations, infrastructure, and required client-provided

resources.

Coordinate installation schedules and ensure field teams have the appropriate

equipment, documentation, access, and information before arriving onsite.

Monitor field installation progress and quickly escalate or resolve issues affecting

schedule, quality, safety, or scope.

Manage punch-list items through completion and ensure outstanding installation

issues are formally tracked and closed.

Technology Implementation

Manage technology deployments involving IoT devices, sensors, gateways,

digital signage, mobile applications, networking/connectivity, APIs/integrations,

and cloud-based software.

Coordinate closely with Technology, Implementation, Configuration,

Operations, Client Success, Purchasing, and Support teams.

Understand project technical requirements well enough to translate between

clients, contractors, field technicians, and  technical teams.

Coordinate network and connectivity requirements with customer IT departments,

including Wi-Fi, cellular, ethernet, firewall, security, and related infrastructure

requirements when applicable.

Track equipment procurement, shipping, inventory, installation, activation, and

commissioning.

Ensure hardware is properly installed, communicating, configured, tested, and

reflected accurately within the platform.

Coordinate system configuration, user setup, data requirements, integrations,

dashboards, workflows, and other technical dependencies required for go-live.

Manage testing and commissioning activities and ensure identified technical

issues are assigned, tracked, escalated, and resolved.

Ensure projects transition cleanly from implementation into ongoing Client

Success and Technical Support.

Client & Stakeholder Management

Serve as the primary client contact for assigned projects.

Establish project governance, communication cadence, meeting schedules,

escalation paths, and stakeholder responsibilities at project kickoff.

Lead client kickoff meetings, project reviews, construction/installation

coordination meetings, status calls, and closeout meetings.

Communicate project status clearly, including accomplishments, upcoming

milestones, risks, decisions required, delays, and responsible parties.

Build strong relationships with client executives, facility management, operations

teams, IT departments, contractors, and frontline stakeholders.

Manage client expectations professionally while protecting project scope,

schedule, budget, and contractual requirements.

Recognize potential changes in scope and ensure additional work is properly

documented, communicated, and approved before execution.

Identify opportunities for future phases, expanded scope, or additional TRAX

solutions and communicate opportunities internally.

Cross-Functional Leadership

Own the coordination between departments and ensure required information

moves between teams at the appropriate stage of the project.

Establish clear owners and deadlines for project tasks and hold internal and

external stakeholders accountable for commitments.

Escalate issues appropriately while bringing recommended solutions—not simply

reporting problems.

Conduct internal handoff meetings before implementation and formal operational

handoffs following go-live.

Ensure Sales commitments, contracts, statements of work, technical

requirements, and client expectations are understood by the delivery team.

Budget, Scope & Change Management

Manage project scope, schedule, budget, resources, and technical performance.

Monitor project costs and identify potential budget overruns before they occur.

Review contracts, proposals, statements of work, and project requirements to

ensure delivery aligns with what was sold.

Identify out-of-scope requests and coordinate change orders or scope

modifications as appropriate.

Maintain documentation of client decisions and approvals that affect project

scope, cost, or schedule.

Quality, Go-Live & Closeout

Develop and manage go-live readiness plans for assigned projects.

Confirm hardware, software, configuration, integrations, training, documentation,

and support requirements are complete prior to launch.

Coordinate user and operational training with appropriate TRAX teams.

Conduct project closeout and ensure outstanding punch-list items are resolved.

Ensure all final project documentation is organized and transferred to Client

Success and Technical Support.

Conduct post-project reviews to identify lessons learned, process improvements,

and recurring risks.

Track project performance against defined success criteria and delivery

expectations.
