Program Manager, IT Infrastructure Buildout (Contract) job near me in Melville, New York at Think Company

A 200,000-square-foot headquarters doesn't come together on its own. As Program Manager, you'll be the single point of contact orchestrating every technology workstream behind a two-floor HQ fit-out.

This role is a Think Company staffing opportunity supporting complex business initiatives for one of our enterprise clients. You'll be fully embedded with one of our strategic client partners, collaborating daily with their stakeholders, working within their processes and structures, and representing Think Company through strong delivery, communication, and consulting acumen.

Quick facts

Location: On-site in Melville, NY (Long Island). This role requires a dedicated, regular on-site presence, so candidates should be local to Long Island or the surrounding area.
Employment type: Contract (fixed-term), Exempt
Travel expectations: Regular on-site presence in Melville
Salary range: $75 - $85/hr

What you'll do

Serve as the single point of contact for the client across every workstream in the buildout — network, structured cabling, AV, voice, moves, and low-voltage
Lead four project managers across wired/wireless, conference rooms and AV, move/voice, and low-voltage cabling, keeping their plans aligned to one integrated schedule
Own the program budget and schedule, reconciling ROM estimates against actuals and surfacing variances early enough to act on them
Manage vendors and subcontractors across general contracting, security, AV, and telecom trades so sequencing holds as the floors come together
Run design workshops and coordinate staging, testing, and cutover so systems are proven before anyone moves in
Deliver clear, consistent reporting to client stakeholders and internal delivery leadership
Drive as-built documentation and closeout, so the client inherits an environment their own teams can maintain

What you bring

A track record leading large IT or construction-adjacent infrastructure programs, including budgets of $2M or more
Experience coordinating Cisco network infrastructure rollouts — switching, wireless, and security — alongside structured cabling work in Cat 6A and fiber, plus familiarity with conference room AV and Webex deployments
Confident vendor and subcontractor management across general contracting, security, AV, and telecom trades
Strong budget tracking skills, including ROM-to-actual reconciliation
Experience managing IT relocations and moves, spanning desktop, voice, and staging logistics
Experience leading a team of project managers running parallel workstreams
Excellent stakeholder communication — you're comfortable being the single point of contact for both a client and an internal delivery team

Nice-to-haves

Delivery experience in a utility, energy, or comparably regulated enterprise environment
PMP or a similar formal program or construction management credential
Experience working as an embedded consultant inside a client's team and processes
Exposure to occupancy planning or workplace experience work alongside a technology fit-out

How we work
