About this role
Description
EXANTE360 is seeking a Physical Security Project Manager to support its growing mission-critical practice and manage complex physical-security consulting projects from kickoff through construction and closeout.
The business continues to receive additional mission-critical project work and needs additional project-management and delivery capacity. EXANTE360 recently added another Project Manager and has continued evaluating senior-level talent, but additional PM capacity remains an ongoing need.
This is a hands-on project-management and client-consulting role requiring strong physical-security technical credibility, client-facing project ownership, design-management capability, and construction-administration experience.
The PM must understand physical-security design well enough to manage and review technical deliverables, challenge assumptions, coordinate designers and multidisciplinary stakeholders, and communicate effectively with clients. The PM is NOT expected to possess the same component-level design-production expertise as EXANTE360's dedicated ICT/security Designers.

Physical-security technical credibility + meaningful project ownership + client-facing capability + construction knowledge + design fluency + consulting mindset + willingness to remain hands-on.
