THE COMPANY

This organization is a highly respected name in fire alarm and life safety systems, with a legacy that stretches back more than 70 years. They design, install, and maintain large-scale fire alarm and life-safety solutions for commercial, educational, and healthcare environments across multiple states. Now part of a well-established security services family, this team combines the stability of a major regional brand with the hands-on culture of a local branch. Their Madison operation supports a loyal customer base and a growing project pipeline — creating the perfect opportunity for someone who wants to step into a visible role with real impact.


THE JOB

This Project Manager will take the lead on installations of commercial fire alarm systems from start to finish — overseeing timelines, budgets, and the coordination between clients, technicians, and subcontractors. You’ll work closely with the sales team (who secure the project) and the technicians (who execute it), acting as the central point of contact to ensure everything runs smoothly from kickoff to final inspection. The role includes job costing, scheduling, documentation, and collaboration with field teams and inspectors.


This is a hands-on position for someone who thrives on structure, communication, and accountability — ensuring projects stay on track and clients stay informed.

  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously using Procore and internal systems.
  • Conduct on-site visits to monitor progress and ensure work meets quality and compliance standards.
  • Partner with sales, technicians, and inspectors to drive projects to completion.
  • Ensure projects are delivered safely, profitably, and on schedule.


THE QUALIFICATIONS

  • Proven experience in project management — ideally in construction, fire alarm, electrical, or low-voltage systems.
  • Comfortable juggling multiple priorities and coordinating between internal and external teams.
  • Strong organizational and communication skills; able to manage details while keeping big-picture goals in focus.
  • Familiarity with Procore or similar project management tools is a plus.
  • Background in fire alarm systems is helpful but not required
  • Someone who thrives in a flexible, low-bureaucracy environment and takes pride in ownership of their work.
  • High School or GED


THE BENEFITS

  • Salary: $60,000–$80,000 base (depending on experience)
  • Comprehensive benefits package: medical, dental, vision, life insurance, paid holidays and vacation, 401(k) with company match, and short-term disability coverage.
  • Schedule: Full-time, on-site in Madison, WI
  • Culture: Collaborative, laid-back, and people-first. You’ll find genuine work-life balance and leadership that trusts you to manage your work your way.
