What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Project Manager - On-site position at Aspire Technology Partners?
The Senior Project Manager – Audio Visual is responsible for the successful delivery of complex audiovisual (AV) and technology integration projects from project kickoff through closeout. This role owns overall project execution, including schedule, budget, scope, and client satisfaction.
The Audio Visual Project Manager (AV PM) serves as the primary point of contact for clients and internal teams, leading cross-functional coordination across engineering, procurement, field operations, and subcontractors. A significant portion of this role is focused on procurement oversight – partnering closely with the AV Procurement Specialist to track equipment orders, anticipate delivery risks, manage material readiness, and ensure procurement activities stay aligned with project schedules. This role requires a strong understanding of AV systems and construction workflows, with the ability to proactively manage risk, drive project progress, and ensure high-quality outcomes. The AV PM is expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy, managing multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining alignment with company standards and client expectations.
The AV PM is a member of the AV and Physical Security Business Unit which is the centralized point of customer engagement, resource management, deliverable assurance, and project/program reporting. The PM will apply practical project management principles guided by PMI PMBOK, adapting them pragmatically to a fast-moving, evolving environment where execution and outcomes take priority over rigid adherence to process. The PM takes the handoff from Sales and facilitates the implementations through to project closure.
