# Program Manager, IT Infrastructure Buildout (Contract) at Think Company

- **Company:** Think Company
- **Location:** Melville, NY
- **Employment:** contract
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-07-27
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-08
- **Apply:** https://jobs.gem.com/think-company/am9icG9zdDrcjfcl5dCu8A4sE1L3usUs

## Job description

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 (2 year-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

## About working at Think Company

Think Company is a design and technology consultancy that helps organizations solve meaningful problems through thoughtful strategy, design, and delivery.

You'll work with smart, kind people across disciplines and industries while gaining opportunities to grow your skills, expand your influence, and shape how we work.

We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and ongoing opportunities for learning and development.

## How we work

A note on this role specifically: the buildout requires a dedicated, regular on-site presence in Melville, NY, which makes it an exception to our usual remote-first default. More broadly, here's how we work:

We collaborate primarily remotely, with intentional in-person time for company gatherings and client needs. Our teams balance autonomy with partnership, and we believe great work comes from trust, transparency, and shared ownership.

AI is becoming a foundational part of how we work at Think Company. Team members are expected to use AI tools responsibly, stay curious about advancements, and participate in training and enablement as part of their growth.

Interested? Big buildouts live or die on the person keeping every workstream honest. If that's the work you enjoy — the sequencing, the trade coordination, the moment a floor comes online exactly as planned — take a few minutes to send in your application. We'd love to hear how you'd approach it.
