Audio Video Senior Project Manager
ME Engineers · Lakewood, CO · Yesterday
HybridFull-time
You will lead Audio, Video, and Broadcast designs on some of the most visible venues being built in the United States: professional stadiums and arenas, major collegiate facilities, and the complex renovations that keep iconic buildings relevant. You will set the vision with the owner, steer a team through all major decisions, and stay with the project until the systems are commissioned and the building is live. This is a role for someone who is energized by the moment a client turns to you in a room full of people and asks what we should do. What You Will Own Lead multiple large-scale audio-video and broadcast projects from programming and concept design through construction, integration, and commissioning. Serve as the primary technical voice to owners, architects, venue operators, broadcasters, and contractors. Set project requirements, design direction, scope, deliverables, and priorities, then hold the team to them. Lead and develop project teams comprising design engineers, designers, and subject-matter experts. Direct the design of large format bowl audio, distributed audio, video distribution and IPTV, LED display systems, video production and broadcast infrastructure, control systems, DSP, and AV networks. Coordinate audio-video and broadcast systems with architecture, structural, electrical, mechanical, IT, security, and low-voltage trades. Review drawings, specifications, narratives, equipment selections, and cost estimates before they leave the office. Lead client workshops, design presentations, and milestone reviews. Provide technical leadership through bidding, construction administration, integration, testing, and commissioning. Participate in pursuits, interviews, and proposals, and build the client relationships that carry into the next project. Help shape ME Engineers' technical standards and mentor the engineers coming up behind you. What You Bring Ten or more years in professional Audio Video consulting, design, engineering, or integration. Delivered stadiums, arenas, large public assembly facilities, or projects of similar complexity and visibility. A track record managing multidisciplinary teams and large Audio Video scopes. Fluency in the design and construction process, including how a design decision impacts a submittal, an RFI, and a punch item. Strong command of large format sound systems, DSP, control, IPTV, AV networking, broadcast systems, and venue infrastructure. The judgment and presence to lead a room, and the communication skills to make a complex recommendation land with a nontechnical owner. What Would Set You Apart Experience in the design or operation of sports venues, or other facilities of equal complexity. Working knowledge of SMPTE ST 2110, Dante, AES67, Q SYS, HDR video, and IP-based media systems. Existing relationships with professional sports organizations, venue operators, or major sports architects. CTS, CTS D, PE, or comparable credentials. Preferred, not required.
