Security Project Manager

Position Summary

The Security Project Manager is responsible for the successful execution of CCTV, access control, intrusion detection, and integrated security projects. This individual will maintain full ownership of project planning, financial performance, scheduling, manpower coordination, subcontractor management, procurement, installation oversight, commissioning, and project closeout.

This role is NOT a fit if your experience is mainly in IT infrastructure or network administration (routing, switching, servers, or help desk), or in project management outside the low voltage and construction industry. Those are valuable skills, but they are not what this position needs.

The ideal candidate is a proven leader with strong financial acumen, excellent customer relationship skills, and a successful track record of delivering complex security projects on time and within budget.

This role is a fit if you have worked on the contractor side of low voltage projects and know how a job moves from bid to closeout: submittals, purchase orders, permits, inspections, and billing. Understanding of project lifecycle of a traditional LV project is a plus!

Responsibilities

• Manage electronic security projects from award through final completion.
• Oversee project financial performance, including budget management, forecasting, cost controls, and Profit & Loss (P&L) responsibility.
• Develop and maintain project schedules to ensure successful execution and on-time delivery.
• Coordinate labor resources, subcontractors, materials, and equipment required for project completion.
• Manage procurement activities and ensure timely delivery of materials.
• Lead project kickoff meetings and ongoing project status meetings.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for customers, contractors, consultants, and internal stakeholders.
• Review project drawings, specifications, contracts, and scope requirements.
• Manage project documentation, change orders, RFIs, submittals, and closeout documentation.
• Oversee system installation, testing, commissioning, and customer acceptance processes.
• Monitor project quality, safety, and compliance with company standards and applicable codes.
• Identify and resolve project risks, scheduling conflicts, and operational challenges.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and best practices across project operations.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of project management experience within the security, low-voltage, fire alarm, electrical, or related industries.
• Proven experience managing CCTV, access control, intrusion detection, and integrated security projects.
• Demonstrated experience managing project budgets and financial performance.
• Strong understanding of project scheduling, resource allocation, and risk management.
• Experience managing subcontractors, vendors, and field installation teams.
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and contract documents.
• Excellent organizational, communication, and customer relationship management skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and project management software.
• Valid driver's license with the ability to travel throughout the Greater Toronto Area as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• PMP certification or equivalent project management training.
• Experience with enterprise security platforms and integrated security solutions.
• Knowledge of construction project delivery methodologies and best practices.
• Experience working within retail, commercial, industrial, healthcare, or mission-critical environments.
• Manufacturer certifications or industry-specific security credentials.
