• Contract & Scope Evaluation: Evaluate assigned contracts in detail to determine project scope, services and deliverables, and document them in the appropriate operational and project management systems; identify potential scope changes and initiate the change request process (e.g., JCO) when needed.
• Planning & Scheduling: Develop and maintain project plans, schedules, resource plans, execution approaches and key milestones for retrofit and upgrade programs; regularly update schedules and documentation as conditions change.
• Occupied-Unit Retrofit Management: Lead retrofit and upgrade initiatives in occupied residential communities, including unit-by-unit and building-by-building sequencing, occupied-unit access planning and resident communication strategies that minimize disruption and protect the resident experience.
• Technology Deployment Oversight: Oversee deployments of smart home devices, access control systems, IoT sensors, community Wi-Fi, network infrastructure (including Wi-Fi, BLE, Z-Wave and LoRa networks) and resident technology platforms; coordinate device compatibility validation, programming and activation within STRATIS IoT and related platforms.
• Quality & Closeout: Assess installation accuracy and quality against contract requirements, WhiteSky and STRATIS standards and customer expectations; verify completion of project requirements, oversee formal closeout, ensure as-built and final documentation is stored in the appropriate systems, and transition project data to the Support team.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Coordinate field services, installation partners, subcontractors, supply chain, logistics, engineering and customer stakeholders; collaborate with Sales, Customer Success, Operations, Engineering, Product, Supply Chain, Carrier Management and Field Services teams to share scope and prepare for execution and delivery.
• Risk & Issue Management: Proactively identify, communicate and resolve project risks, resident-impact concerns, site readiness issues and construction-related obstacles; escalate to senior leadership and property stakeholders as appropriate, and hold firm on scope decisions.
• Financial Management: Manage project budgets, margins, change orders, forecast accuracy, invoicing milestones, revenue recognition milestones and profitability targets; identify cost-saving opportunities and track quality, cost, schedule, change order and sales data.

• Education: Bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as project management, engineering, information technology, computer science or business administration; equivalent experience considered.
• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of project management experience, including demonstrated leadership of complex retrofit and upgrade projects within occupied residential environments, preferably in construction, telecommunications, low voltage, security or technology installation.
• Travel: Willingness to travel as needed to project sites, customer properties and vendor locations.
