Job description

Position Summary

LINX is expanding into the Dallas/Fort Worth market and hiring the founding Project Manager for our DFW operation. You will be the first operational leadership hire in the market working alongside a dedicated sales partner to build client relationships, establish LINX’s presence with commercial construction stakeholders across the Metroplex, and lay the operational foundation for a full regional team. As project volume grows, you will grow the team around you by hiring Superintendents, Foremen, and Technicians, and ultimately running a regional operation with the full infrastructure and stability of a national company behind you.

About LINX

Founded in 2003 by working industry practitioners, LINX has grown across the USA and has completed projects in all 50 states. We design, install, and support commercial network cabling, fiber, AV, security, and wireless systems across commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and data centers.

The Opportunity – What You’re Building

Year 1: You and a sales partner establish LINX in DFW. You run projects, develop relationships with clients and trade partners, support business development activity, and build the operational processes and field team that the market will run on.

Year 2–3: As project volume grows, you expand your field team by recruiting and developing the Superintendents, Foremen, and Technicians who will execute the work.

Year 3+: You run a regional operation. Potential establishment of a brick-and-mortar DFW office. Path to Operations Manager as the market matures.

What You’ll Be Doing

Business Development & Market Presence

• Partner directly with the DFW sales representative to build LINX’s client base across the Metroplex by attending client meetings, owner interviews, and project presentations as the technical and operational voice of the company
• Leverage your existing knowledge of and relationships within the DFW commercial construction ecosystem, including facilities managers, IT directors, corporate real estate stakeholders, general contractors, distributors, and manufacturer representatives, to open doors and establish LINX as a credible, capable contractor in the market
• Develop and maintain relationships with key trade partners including CommScope, Corning, AFL, Wesco and Graybar
• Support the sales partner in proposal development, client presentations, and RFP responses

P&L Ownership & Financial Management

• Own full budget responsibility across a portfolio of concurrent commercial projects — small project budgets up to $100,000 individually, with an annual managed revenue target of approximately $500,000
• Full P&L accountability means you are tracking labor hours, materials costs, equipment costs, subcontractor spend, and margin performance on every active project
• Manage change orders from identification through approval and documentation
• Coordinate materials procurement through the LINX procurement team ensuring equipment and materials are ordered, received, and staged before projects mobilize
• Monitor project financials continuously and flag risks to the Operations Manager before they become losses

Project Planning & Execution

• Lead project kickoff meetings, define detailed project schedules, and conduct site walkthroughs with stakeholders before work begins
• Manage active projects across commercial environments including hospitals, healthcare facilities, K–12 schools, higher education campuses, and corporate office buildings
• Track project milestones against schedule and budget continuously adjusting crew deployment, material staging, and subcontractor coordination proactively when projects drift
• Own project closeout including final documentation, client training, punch list completion, and post-project reviews for continuous improvement

Team Leadership & Workforce Management

• Lead a layered field team of Superintendents, Foremen, Lead Technicians, and Technicians — up to 50 direct field staff plus up to 50 subcontractors across concurrent active projects
• Own workforce planning including scheduling, staffing levels, performance management, and escalation of personnel issues across your project portfolio

Client & Stakeholder Management

• Serve as the primary LINX point of contact for your assigned clients including IT directors, facilities managers, and general and electrical contractors inside commercial businesses, healthcare organizations, and higher education institutions
• Attend and actively contribute to client project meetings, owner interviews, and construction coordination meetings
• When something goes wrong on a project— and it will— you are the person who calls the client, owns the issue, communicates the resolution plan, and manages the relationship through it. The ability to absorb a difficult conversation with a facilities director or IT stakeholder and come out the other side with the relationship intact is a non‑negotiable competency for this role
• Build the kind of client relationships that generate repeat business and referrals — the DFW market’s long‑term trajectory depends on the reputation you establish in the first 12–24 months

Requirements

• 7+ years of project management experience in the low voltage commercial construction industry
• Demonstrated experience interacting regularly with client‑side stakeholders including IT directors, facilities managers, and general contractors and electrical contractors inside commercial, healthcare, and higher education organizations
• Demonstrated full P&L ownership on project budgets with a combined annual revenue of $500,000 or more
• Active knowledge of the Dallas/Fort Worth commercial construction market including the key players, the major GCs operating in the Metroplex, the distributor landscape, and the manufacturer relationships that matter in this region
• Proficiency in change order identification, pricing, and negotiation helping to protect project margin through change management
• Demonstrated experience managing blue‑collar field workforces in a construction environment including subcontractors and full‑time employees
• Ability to read and interpret construction documents — Scope of Work, Bill of Materials, as‑builts, blueprints, and project schedules
• Working knowledge of low voltage systems, structured cabling, or fiber optic infrastructure sufficient to have credible technical conversations with your field team and your clients
• Strong written and verbal communication in English
• Candidates who have owned or operated their own low voltage contracting business are strongly preferred — the combination of technical competency, client ownership, financial accountability, and team management that comes from running your own operation maps directly to what this role requires

Preferred (not Required)

• PMP Certification
• BICSI Technician or RCDD
• OSHA 30
• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or Business
• Experience managing healthcare or K–12 construction specifically

Pay Range

$100,000–$130,000/year depending on experience

• Short and long‑term disability coverage
• 3 weeks PTO (vacation and sick combined)
• 8 paid holidays
• Vehicle Allowance
• Cell Phone Allowance
• Full support of LINX’s national infrastructure — procurement, estimating, engineering, HR, and executive leadership
