Project Manager I – Telecom/Network/MDF
Work Location: Los Angeles, CA

Are you ready to lead high-visibility campus technology projects that shape how thousands of students and staff connect, learn, and stay safe? Do you want to strengthen your reputation by delivering complex telecom and network systems from concept through construction and turnover?

The role

This is your opportunity to manage large, publicly funded capital projects ranging from $1M to $25M. You will oversee 5–10 concurrent projects and guide telecom, security, network, and audiovisual systems from early planning through final activation.

In this onsite Los Angeles role, you will become the go-to technical leader between project teams, IT stakeholders, design consultants, and contractors. Your work will directly influence campus operations, safety systems, and learning environments.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will:

• Lead full lifecycle delivery of structured cabling, VoIP, security, AV, and network infrastructure projects
• Define clear technology scope during design and protect it throughout construction
• Review drawings and specifications to prevent field conflicts and costly revisions
• Manage equipment and infrastructure budgets to keep projects financially on track
• Guide procurement activities and evaluate contractor proposals and change requests
• Oversee installation, integration, testing, and commissioning to ensure systems work together seamlessly
• Coordinate BDF/MDF/IDF buildouts, pathway planning, grounding, labeling, and standards compliance
• Support operational turnover, documentation, and end-user readiness

You will gain exposure to districtwide VoIP migrations, access control systems, emergency communications, mass notification platforms, UPS resiliency systems, and advanced audiovisual environments. Each successful project strengthens your technical depth and leadership profile.
