Coranet•Fort Lauderdale, FL

1d•$80,000 - $110,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Coranet Corp is seeking a Low Voltage Project Manager (Div. 27/28) - Access Control based out of our Fort Lauderdale office to join our growing Florida project management team. This is a hands-on, project-level PM role focused on the day-to-day execution of low-voltage scope on commercial and multifamily new-construction builds across South Florida. Working alongside Coranet's other Florida PMs and reporting to the Florida Operations Manager, this person owns the delivery of their assigned projects from kickoff through closeout - managing schedules, field crews, subcontractors, materials, budgets, and the client relationship on each job. The PM is the primary day-to-day point of contact for the GC, owner, and consultants on their projects, working from the Fort Lauderdale office and regularly visiting active jobsites. A strong emphasis of this role is physical security, particularly access control, alongside video surveillance and the broader Div. 27/28 scope (structured cabling, pathways/spaces, wireless, and AV infrastructure). The ideal candidate combines solid construction coordination skills with real technical fluency in electronic security systems and thrives in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment with clear ownership of their projects. This is not a territory-leadership position - it is a project-execution role joining an existing PM team. The right person is organized, responsive across email/text/phone/in-person, comfortable reading drawings and specs, and able to keep multiple commercial builds moving on schedule and on budget.

Requirements

3+ years (or 2+ years with strong electronic security experience) in low-voltage construction project management or project coordination, delivering Div. 27/28 scope.
Hands-on experience with access control and video surveillance systems - including door hardware coordination, readers, controllers, credentialing, and VMS/NVR setup (e.g., Avigilon, Genetec, Software House/C•CURE, LenelS2, Brivo, or similar platforms).
Ability to interpret construction documents, blueprints, and Division 27/28 technical drawings.
Strong organization, communication, and follow-through; able to manage multiple commercial/multifamily projects at once and keep stakeholders aligned via email, text, phone, and in person.
Ability to travel to jobsites across South Florida (and Florida as needed). Valid driver's license.

Nice To Haves

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent relevant field experience).
Experience on ground-up commercial and multifamily new construction.

Experience working in simPRO, Fieldwire, and other project management software.
Electrical background.
Comfortable in Excel and with job-cost metrics; experience with Procore (or similar) and Bluebeam.
