Job description

Project Manager / On-Site, Lighting Controls
Winter Park, FL On-site

Remember the one in your group who always knew what had to happen next? They were the one tracking the details, keeping people aligned, following up before things slipped, and stepping in early before small issues became big ones. They didn’t make excuses. They took ownership, kept commitments, and made sure the job got done. If that sounds like you, you may be exactly who we’re looking for.

What We Do

We partner with owners, designers, and managers of luxury residential, commercial, hospitality, and institutional properties in the Southeast U.S. who value trusted advisors to solve complex building technology challenges. We solve problems with the best solutions by designing, installing, and supporting smart technology. We’re proud to partner with top-tier platforms like Lutron, Crestron, Q‑Sys, Biamp, and others—and we never stop raising the bar.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Project Manager at ZIO, you will serve as the primary point of coordination and accountability for assigned projects. You will work under the Operations Manager and be responsible for ensuring your projects move forward with clarity, urgency, and follow‑through. The role is not just about keeping a schedule updated; it is about owning the outcome. You will coordinate schedule, material, labor, issue resolution, and proactive communication to keep projects on track.

• Act as the primary interface for assigned projects with clients, general contractors, trades, owners’ representatives, and internal teams
• Own project execution from handoff through completion, including schedule, coordination, communication, and follow‑through
• Work closely with the Operations Manager to ensure projects are aligned with company priorities, standards, and accountability expectations
• Coordinate with engineering, purchasing, programmers, field technicians, lead technicians, and other stakeholders to keep projects on track
• Ensure materials, labor resources, and information are ready when needed
• Identify risks, gaps, and issues early, then drive them toward resolution before they escalate
• Lead project communication internally and externally with professionalism, accuracy, and urgency
• Maintain strong documentation and keep project information current in company systems
• Review project scope, labor, and progress regularly to help protect execution quality and profitability
• Support change‑order management, scheduling updates, closeout, and completion of project deliverables
• Hold yourself and others accountable to commitments, deadlines, and next steps

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who sees project management as ownership, not administration. You know how to keep people aligned, spot problems early, follow through on commitments, and drive progress without drama or excuses. You are organized, professional, and steady under pressure. You do not wait to be told what to follow up on.

Required Qualifications

• Have experience managing projects in a fast‑paced, detail‑oriented environment
• Are comfortable being the person accountable for schedule, communication, coordination, and execution
• Can manage multiple moving parts without letting details fall through the cracks
• Communicate clearly and professionally with clients, contractors, and internal teams
• Know how to push when needed while still maintaining strong working relationships
• Take pride in being proactive rather than reactive
• Understand that strong documentation and follow‑through are part of doing the job well
• Can lead through accountability, clarity, and consistency
• 3+ years in project management, construction coordination, AV integration, low‑voltage, or a related field
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining follow‑through
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and standard business/project tools
• Ability to work on‑site and coordinate effectively with field and office teams

Strongly Recommended Skills / Experience

• Experience in commercial AV, lighting control, low‑voltage, construction, or a related technical environment
• Experience coordinating with general contractors, subcontractors, and other trades
• Familiarity with project scheduling, change orders, procurement coordination, and job documentation
• Experience working with ERP/CRM/project tracking systems
• Ability to read plans, understand scope, and coordinate technical project details at a practical level
• Exposure to platforms such as Lutron, Crestron, Q‑Sys, Biamp, or similar systems
• PMP, CTS, or similar credentials are a plus

Benefits

• Paid training, certifications, and industry events
• Semi‑annual career coaching and development to help you achieve your long‑term goals
• Retirement matching
• Health, Dental, Vision, and Disability Insurance
• Paid Holidays & Time Off
• Company events such as go‑kart racing, bowling, and other events you can help organize on a quarterly basis
• Profit sharing
