Entry Level Installation Project Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level installation project manager job?
Start by highlighting any internship, co-op, or hands-on project work that shows you can coordinate schedules, vendors, or on-site teams. Entry level employers at this level look for familiarity with project documentation, an ability to communicate across trades, and a willingness to learn site safety standards. A degree in construction management, engineering technology, or a related field gives you a clear edge, though some employers also value vocational training or relevant certifications.
Which companies hire entry level installation project managers?
Companies hiring entry level installation project managers right now include KLA, Vivint, and Lockheed Martin, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from regional contractors, national service firms, and infrastructure companies that build structured training programs into the role.
Are there remote entry level installation project manager jobs?
Yes, though most positions at this level are on-site given the hands-on nature of installation work. About 6% of entry level installation project manager openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those roles typically focus on coordination, scheduling, or documentation rather than direct field supervision.
Are these new grad installation project manager jobs?
Yes, many of the openings here are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates with little or no professional experience. A new grad-friendly posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships or capstone projects toward that requirement, and may offer mentorship or rotational training to build field competency over time.
Which industries hire the most entry level installation project managers?
Entry Level installation project manager roles concentrate in Manufacturing, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Telecommunications, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive consistent entry level hiring because they rely on large-scale equipment deployment, infrastructure buildouts, and ongoing maintenance programs that require junior project oversight.
