Katapult Network is designed to help college graduates with zero to two years of professional experience find their next professional career opportunity. We focus on helping recent college graduates, with no experience, get access to full-time, entry-level opportunities with some of the Nation's top employers. Our clients include ground-breaking start-up companies and well-established billion-dollar organizations who want to find their next generation of talent.

The Job:

We are currently hiring a detail-driven individual for an entry-level Project Manager position in the construction industry. In this role, you will support the planning and coordination of commercial structured cabling projects, collaborating with project managers, vendors, and subcontractors. This opportunity provides hands-on exposure to estimating, scheduling, and managing high-impact infrastructure initiatives.

We're looking for someone who brings a strong sense of ownership, sharp attention to detail, and thrives in a collaborative team environment. As a Junior Project Manager, you'll play a key role in maintaining project documentation, ensuring cost control, and supporting on-time delivery of essential construction projects. If you're someone who enjoys problem-solving, organizing technical information, and being part of a dynamic industry, we'd love to hear from you!

What You Will Be Doing As A Project Manager:

  • Support daily field operations across systems such as cabling, security, CCTV, audiovisual, and fire alarms
  • Analyze construction drawings and technical specs to help prepare accurate estimates
  • Monitor project budgets, generate material requests, and assist with invoicing and documentation
  • Coordinate with vendors, subcontractors, and internal stakeholders to maintain project timelines and deliverables
  • Assist in developing baseline project schedules and managing change order processes
  • Travel to local and occasional out-of-state job sites as needed
  • Maintain detailed records and provide timely updates on project milestones and financials
  • Assist with contract preparation and help manage subcontractor relationships
  • Ensure all activities comply with industry standards and safety guidelines

Our Ideal Project Manager Candidate Has:

  • Strong communication: clearly conveys ideas in both written and verbal formats and listens actively when working with teams and external partners
  • Initiative: demonstrates a proactive attitude, takes on new tasks with confidence, and uses sound judgment to handle multiple responsibilities
  • Technical aptitude: understands how to interpret blueprints, specifications, and infrastructure layouts
  • Problem-solving mindset: recognizes challenges, assesses potential solutions, and follows through on decisions
  • Team-first approach: works well independently and collaborates effectively to accomplish shared goals
  • Experience using Microsoft Office; familiarity with project management tools is a bonus (MS Project preferred)

Requirements To Be A Project Manager:

  • Bachelor's degree
  • Valid driver's license with an insurable driving record
  • Willingness to travel as needed

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Exposure to Wi-Fi infrastructure or data center environments
  • 1+ year of relevant experience in construction estimating or project coordination
