Technical Project Manager - MSP / IT Infrastructure
Remote - United States$90,000-$95,000 + BenefitsTravel to Southern California / Los Angeles County for initial training and approximately 1-2 company visits per year
We are recruiting for a Technical Project Manager opportunity with an established managed IT services company that has been serving small and midsized businesses for more than 25 years.
This is a remote position focused on leading the successful delivery of IT infrastructure and software implementation projects across multiple client environments.
This is not a traditional non-technical project management position.
The ideal candidate will come from an MSP background and combine strong project leadership skills with significant hands-on infrastructure experience. You should be comfortable planning and coordinating projects while also understanding the underlying technology well enough to lead technical discussions, troubleshoot issues and perform implementation work when necessary.
This could be an excellent opportunity for an experienced MSP Project Engineer, Senior Systems Engineer or Infrastructure Engineer who has already been leading projects and is ready to move into a dedicated Technical Project Manager role.
What You'll Be Doing
- Own assigned IT projects from approved scope through planning, implementation, testing, documentation and final handoff
- Translate scopes of work into detailed project plans with tasks, owners, dependencies, milestones, estimated effort and completion criteria
- Manage multiple concurrent projects across different client environments
- Lead infrastructure projects including server installations and upgrades, Active Directory migrations, Microsoft 365 implementations, Azure projects, virtualization projects, network upgrades, firewall deployments, workstation rollouts and disaster recovery initiatives
- Coordinate technicians, engineers, vendors, client contacts and internal stakeholders throughout each project
- Lead project kickoffs, technical working sessions, status meetings and completion reviews
- Validate technical prerequisites including equipment, licensing, backups, access, documentation, maintenance windows and rollback plans
- Track project scope, schedules, budgeted effort, dependencies, risks and resource requirements
- Identify potential problems early and escalate technical or project-related blockers before they impact delivery
- Provide hands-on technical implementation and troubleshooting when necessary
- Perform structured testing and quality assurance before projects are considered complete
