Together, our community strives to create and maintain working and learning environments that are inclusive, equitable, and welcoming.
UW Information Technology (UWIT) is the central information technology organization for the University of Washington, responsible for strategic planning, oversight, and direction of the UW’s IT infrastructure, resources, and services. UWIT provides critical technology support to all three campuses, UW Medicine, and research operations around the world. UWIT partners with the UW community to enable innovation, learning, discovery, and service.
The Senior Technical Project Manager is responsible for leading the planning and execution of complex, large-scale network infrastructure projects across the university environment which includes multiple academic campuses, medical centers, and regional research and education networks.
This role ensures the successful delivery of networking technologies such as wired and wireless infrastructure, data center connectivity, wide-area networking, and partner network integrations. The position works closely with network engineering, operations, security, facilities, and external vendors to deliver reliable, scalable, and secure network services that support teaching, research, healthcare delivery, and regional collaboration.
The Senior Technical Project Manager serves as the primary point of coordination for project sponsors and stakeholders, aligning technical execution with institutional priorities, timelines, budgets, and compliance requirements.
In addition to project execution, this role also ensures continuity between project delivery and operational service readiness by integrating change management practices, communication planning, and quality control measures throughout the project lifecycle.
Position Complexities:
This role operates in a highly complex, mission-critical environment with dependencies across healthcare, academic, and research systems where downtime and errors can have significant operational and patient care impacts.
- Advanced communication and coordination across multiple specialized technical teams including network engineering, implementation, operations, and security.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Technology Project Manager
Align your degree to the role
H-1B eligibility for Technology Project Manager roles hinges on your degree field matching the position. A business degree alone can trigger an RFE. Frame your credentials around technology management, information systems, or computer science to strengthen the specialty occupation argument.
Search LCA filings before applying
Use Migrate Mate to filter employers by verified H-1B Labor Condition Application filings for project management roles. This cuts out companies that list sponsorship as possible but have never filed, saving you weeks of dead-end applications.
Target employers with PMP or Agile programs
Employers running formal PMO structures or scaled Agile frameworks file more Technology Project Manager H-1B petitions than generalist hiring shops. Check DOL LCA disclosure data to identify companies with consistent filing history in this specific occupation code.
Request cap-exempt employer options early
Universities, nonprofits affiliated with higher education, and certain research institutions are cap-exempt, meaning no lottery wait. If you're open to those sectors, identify them before the annual registration window so you're not competing for the 85,000 cap-subject slots.
Confirm the prevailing wage tier in your offer
Your employer must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage before USCIS will approve your H-1B petition. Use the OFLC Wage Search to check the wage level for your job zone and metro area before you accept an offer, not after.
Front-load your resume with technical scope
H-1B petitions for project managers get scrutinized when the role appears broadly managerial. Your resume and support letter need to emphasize technical deliverables, system integrations, and engineering team coordination to reinforce the specialty occupation classification for USCIS reviewers.
Technology Project Manager jobs are hiring across the US. Find yours.
Find Technology Project Manager JobsTechnology Project Manager H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Technology Project Manager role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, but the petition needs to demonstrate that the role requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific technical field, not just any degree. USCIS scrutinizes project management roles more closely than pure engineering positions. Your employer's support letter should document that the job involves applied technical knowledge in systems design, software delivery, or infrastructure, not just schedule and budget oversight.
How do I find employers who have actually sponsored H-1B visas for this role?
DOL publishes Labor Condition Application disclosure data showing which employers have filed for project management roles by occupation code. Migrate Mate pulls this data into a searchable job board so you can browse Technology Project Manager openings at employers with verified H-1B filing history, rather than applying broadly and asking about sponsorship during interviews.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer if I change Technology Project Manager jobs?
Yes. Under H-1B portability rules, you can start working for a new employer as soon as they file a transfer petition with USCIS, without waiting for approval, as long as you've held valid H-1B status for at least 180 days. Your new employer files a fresh I-129 petition, and the remaining validity on your current H-1B carries over.
What happens to my H-1B status if my project gets canceled and I'm laid off?
You have a 60-day grace period from your last day of employment to find a new sponsor, transfer to a different visa status, or depart the U.S. Your employer is also required to pay for your return transportation. If you secure a new employer within 60 days and they file an H-1B transfer petition before the grace period ends, you can legally start work immediately under portability rules.
Does having a PMP certification strengthen an H-1B petition for this role?
A PMP certification helps contextualize the technical complexity of the role, but USCIS bases specialty occupation decisions on degree requirements, not professional certifications alone. The certification is most useful as supporting evidence when the job description is broad and the employer's support letter needs to demonstrate that the position requires applied technical expertise beyond general management skills. Check the O*NET profile for this occupation to see how USCIS reviewers classify the role's degree requirements.
