About the Role

Trofholz Technologies is seeking a hands-on, technically grounded Project Manager who understands how construction projects are actually built. This is an intermediate-level role for someone who has worked in the field, read engineering drawings, managed subcontractors, tracked project schedules, and delivered complex infrastructure projects on time and on budget.

You will manage multi-site Integrated Electronic Security Systems (IESS) projects that involve structured cabling, low-voltage systems, Access Control, Video Surveillance, and Intrusion Detection installations across federal facilities and critical infrastructure sites nationwide. If you have come up through construction, cabling, or low-voltage systems and moved into project management, this role was built for someone like you.

Veterans with backgrounds in construction engineering, civil engineering, or technical infrastructure are strongly encouraged to apply. The discipline, mission focus, and field experience you bring from the military translate directly into how we deliver for our clients.

What You Will Do

Build detailed project schedules in Microsoft Project from award through closeout and manage the team to every milestone
Read and interpret engineering drawings, construction documents, and technical specifications to drive accurate project execution
Track project budgets, manage costs, process change orders, and protect margin through disciplined financial oversight
Coordinate and manage subcontractors, field technicians, and low-voltage installation crews across multiple sites
Create and submit project submittals, Requests for Information (RFIs), change order packages, and contract modification documentation
Conduct site walks, verify field conditions, and confirm installation compliance against drawings and specifications
Serve as the primary point of contact for federal clients, contracting officers, and agency representatives
Own the full project lifecycle: kickoff, planning, execution, quality inspections, documentation, and final closeout
Identify project risks early and escalate with recommended solutions, not just problems
Support Basis of Estimate (BOE), Basis of Design (BOD), RFP, and RFQ responses for business development
Enforce Trofholz Diamond Delivery standards at every phase of the project

Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and make sound decisions under pressure

Ability to obtain a federal government security clearance
Must pass background screening requirements

Preferred:
