Audio-Visual Project Manager

At FORTÉ, every role plays a part in reimagining how the modern workplace works. Whether you're on the front lines with customers or behind the scenes making things run, your work helps people connect, collaborate, and get things done. From classrooms to control centers, we design and deliver the systems that power smarter, more connected workplaces – and it all starts with the people who make them possible. FORTÉ (formerly AVI Systems) is a 100% employee-owned company with 50+ years of experience and a bold new identity.

This position supports a large, highly secure semiconductor manufacturing campus with strict onboarding, badging, safety, and site-access requirements. The environment is expansive, and project activities may span multiple buildings while operating within controlled access, technology, and transportation limitations. Priorities and information can change quickly, so the successful candidate must be adaptable, patient, highly organized, and comfortable asking clear questions, documenting issues, and following through without needing constant direction.

This is a highly independent, customer-facing role that requires strong project leadership, communication, and execution skills. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working as a third-party resource in an environment with limited onsite peer support, high standards for responsiveness and presentation, and specific customer processes that may differ from typical project environments. Success in this role requires the ability to coordinate stakeholders, manage shifting priorities, drive accountability, and ensure project deliverables are completed on time while maintaining strong customer relationships.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Carrying out projects which meet the customer’s application of all sizes; traveling to client sites as needed

• Planning, directing, and carrying out electronic communications and audiovisual installation projects from initial point of sale to final customer acceptance.

• Managing and leading a team of employees and exercising independent judgment in formulating a project plan.

• Ensuring the delivery of the project installation to the customer within the time and budget parameters of the project.

What You Bring to Assure Success:

• Prior experience in the service, installation, or design of audiovisual and presentation systems.

• Ability to interpret engineering schematics and to communicate design intent to the employees and other team members.

• Prior leadership of a team or supervision of employees.

• Understanding of job financial reports and the ability to control costs in the management of projects.

• Project Management Professional Certification (PMP) and CTS Certification is preferred.
