Job description

LINX is hiring a Low Voltage Project Manager for our commercial construction division in Salt Lake City, Utah. This is a leadership role with real P&L accountability — you will own project budgets, manage a layered team of Superintendents, Foremen, Leads, and Technicians, and be the primary point of contact for demanding clients including IT directors, facilities managers, and general and electrical contractors across commercial, healthcare, and higher education organizations.

You will be directly accountable for project outcomes — schedule, budget, quality, safety, and client satisfaction — across multiple concurrent commercial projects in healthcare facilities, K–12 schools, higher education campuses, and corporate office environments.

If you've carried real budget responsibility, led blue collar field crews, and sat across the table from a facilities director or IT director and owned the conversation, this role is built for you.

Salary: $85,000–$100,000/year based on experience

Where This Role Fits at LINX

Technician → Lead Technician → Foreman → Superintendent → Project Manager → Senior Project Manager → Operations Manager

The Project Manager role sits above the full field leadership stack. You are not in the field running cable — you are managing the people who do. Your direct reports include Superintendents and Foremen who manage their own crews of Technicians. Keeping that layered team productive, accountable, and correctly deployed across multiple active projects simultaneously is the core operational challenge of this role.

LINX operates across the entire United States and our Salt Lake City project pipeline is active and growing. The PM we hire now has a clear path to Senior PM and Operations leadership as the market expands.

What You'll Be Doing

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

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

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

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

Compliance, Safety & Documentation

• Ensure all projects maintain compliance with LINX standards, customer contractual requirements, OSHA regulations, and site‑specific safety plans
• Maintain complete project documentation throughout the lifecycle including schedules, change orders, RFIs, submittals, closeout packages, and client‑facing reports
• Enforce safety culture across your field team

Requirements

• 5+ years of project management experience in the low voltage construction industry, MEP contracting, or a directly adjacent field
• 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
• 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

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

Compensation & Benefits

Salary: $85,000–$100,000/year depending on experience

Bonus: Performance‑based bonus opportunities available

Benefits

• 401(k) with 50% employer match on first 5% contributed
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance with FSA and HSA options
• Short and long‑term disability coverage
• 3 weeks PTO (vacation and sick combined)
• 8 paid holidays
• Vehicle Allowance
• Cell Phone Allowance
