About this role
New Era Technology is seeking a Senior IT Infrastructure Project Manager to manage complex technology initiatives for a major university client. This contract role, based in New York City and requiring in-office presence, sits at the intersection of IT strategy and construction project delivery. You'll serve as the critical liaison between the client's IT department and external stakeholders—architects, engineers, vendors, and contractors—ensuring that network, telecommunications, wireless, structured cabling, and IP camera infrastructure are properly planned, specified, procured, and implemented across capital projects and facility renovations.
The position demands seven or more years of hands-on experience coordinating ITS infrastructure projects, with demonstrated expertise in telecommunications, structured cabling, wireless systems, and communications standards. You'll need a CCNA certification and network infrastructure knowledge as baseline qualifications, with PMP or Agile project management credentials preferred. Beyond technical depth, the role requires strong documentation and database management skills, the ability to evaluate vendor bids and manage contractor relationships, and comfort reviewing financial documentation and change orders. Some familiarity with bill of materials and Cisco design is expected.
Day-to-day work involves attending stakeholder meetings, developing and reviewing technical specifications and Statements of Work, identifying design conflicts before they become problems, and tracking project progress against schedule and scope. You'll also maintain the client's infrastructure databases and support the handoff of completed projects into operations. This is a Monday-to-Friday, 9-to-5 role with occasional travel, suited for someone who thrives coordinating multiple technical and non-technical parties toward a shared infrastructure goal.
