About the Opportunity

IES Communications is seeking a Project Manager to join our Tampa team supporting wireless and low-voltage infrastructure projects, including Cellular DAS and Public Safety DAS solutions.

This role is ideal for a project management professional with experience in low-voltage, telecommunications, construction, audiovisual, security, fiber, wireless, or related technical industries.
