Senior Project Manager - Low Voltage Construction

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 running 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 players - the facilities directors, IT leaders, general contractors, electrical contractors, distributors, and manufacturers who drive commercial construction activity across the Metroplex - and you are ready to put that knowledge to work building 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 the stability, resources, and growth runway that come with joining a proven organization - while keeping the entrepreneurial ownership of building a market - this role was written for you. 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 activity, and build the operational processes and field team that the market will run on. Year 2-3: As project volume grows, you expand your field team by recruiting and developing the Superintendents, Foremen, and Technicians who will execute the work. Year 3+: You run a regional operation. Potential establishment of a brick-and-mortar DFW office. Path to Operations Manager as the market matures. LINX has successfully executed this playbook across several 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.
