About the Role
As a Project Manager – Low Voltage Systems at Z-Modular, a division of Zekelman Industries, you will play a key role in managing the planning, coordination, and execution of low voltage projects across multiple sites. This position requires strong project management, vendor coordination, and stakeholder communication skills, and offers the opportunity to contribute directly to on-time, on-budget, and high-quality delivery of structured cabling and technology infrastructure.
You will collaborate with field supervisors, subcontractors, design teams, and internal stakeholders, ensuring that all phases of the project lifecycle — from preconstruction through execution — are aligned with business goals and client expectations. This is a hybrid role with occasional on-site attendance located in Chandler, AZ, primarily supporting operations in the Phoenix metro area. There is a strong preference for candidates based in the Phoenix area. If based outside the Phoenix metro, an average of 25% travel may be required, though this amount can fluctuate from month to month depending on the construction stage of each site and overall site needs .
This role is perfect for someone who thrives in cross-functional leadership, excels at managing complex timelines, and solves problems confidently in fast-paced construction or technology environments.

Develop and manage project schedules, budgets, and deliverables for low voltage system installations.
Coordinate with design teams, consultants, and clients to ensure scope alignment and resolve design discrepancies.

Ensure accurate and timely documentation including RFIs, submittals, drawings, and as-builts.
Serve as the primary point of contact for clients and internal stakeholders throughout project delivery.
Perform other duties as assigned.
