Senior Project Manager - Low Voltage Construction
About the Role
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 run a regional operation with the full infrastructure and stability of a national company behind you.
The ideal candidate has deep roots in the DFW low voltage or commercial construction market. You know the key players—facilities directors, IT leaders, general contractors, electrical contractors, distributors, and manufacturers—and are ready to leverage that knowledge to build something from the ground up with the backing of an established, growing company. If you have been running your own low voltage operation and are looking for stability, resources, and growth runway while maintaining entrepreneurial ownership, this role is for you.
About LINX
Founded in 2003 by working industry practitioners, LINX has grown across the USA and 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 DFW market is our next expansion, and we are building it the same way we built every other market—by finding the right people. The Project Manager who launches DFW will have the full support of a proven, national company while retaining the autonomy to build a regional operation that reflects their expertise and relationships.
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, and build the operational processes and field team that the market will rely on.
- Year 2–3: As project volume grows, you expand your field team by recruiting and developing Superintendents, Foremen, and Technicians.
- Year 3+: You run a regional operation, with potential for a brick-and-mortar DFW office and a path to Operations Manager as the market matures.
LINX has successfully executed this playbook across multiple markets. You will have the full support of our national infrastructure—procurement, estimating, engineering, HR, finance, and executive leadership—while owning the DFW market as your own.
Responsibilities
Business Development & Market Presence
- Partner directly with the DFW sales representative to build LINX's client base by attending client meetings, owner interviews, and project presentations as the technical and operational voice of the company.
- Leverage your existing relationships within the DFW commercial construction ecosystem—facilities managers, IT directors, corporate real estate stakeholders, general contractors, distributors, and manufacturer representatives—to establish LINX as a credible, capable contractor.
- 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, with individual project budgets up to $100,000 and an annual managed revenue target of approximately $500,000.
- Track 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 to ensure 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, proactively adjusting crew deployment, material staging, and subcontractor coordination 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.
Client & Stakeholder Management
- Serve as the primary LINX point of contact for assigned clients, including IT directors, facilities managers, and general and electrical contractors in commercial businesses, healthcare organizations, and higher education institutions.
- Attend and actively contribute to client project meetings, owner interviews, and construction coordination meetings.
- When issues arise on a project, you are the person who calls the client, owns the issue, communicates the resolution plan, and manages the relationship through it. The ability to handle difficult conversations with stakeholders and maintain trust is critical.
- Build 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.
