About Superior Communication Services

We connect people to the world by designing, installing, and maintaining advanced AV solutions that are easy to use. From corporate conference rooms and LED video walls to fitness center AV systems and DirectTV, we deliver technology that works - every time.

SCS operates nationally with offices in Massachusetts, Texas, Illinois, and North Carolina. We serve clients across multiple industries and we're growing fast. This isn't a watch-and-learn role. You'll be managing real projects, real budgets, and real client relationships from day one.

Our core values: Results Oriented | Transparent | Disciplined | Accountable | Aligned

Your Growth Path

At SCS, this role is designed to grow. Associates who demonstrate the drive, discipline, and results we expect typically develop into full Project Managers - and the best Project Managers grow into Senior Project Managers with broader portfolio ownership and leadership responsibilities.

We promote from within whenever we can. If you come in, own your work, and consistently deliver, there is a clear path forward. We are building something here, and we want the people who grow with us to help lead it.

The typical path: Associate Project Manager → Project Manager → Senior Project Manager

Position Summary
