Low Voltage Technology Specialist

Community Technology Specialist

JPI has an exciting opportunity for a Community Technology Specialist to join our Community Technology team located in our Dallas office. This entry-level, career-track position supports the production and coordination of low-voltage construction drawings for the multifamily communities JPI develops nationally, working alongside experienced low-voltage designers, architects, engineers, interior designers, and outside consultants. The Community Technology Specialist will learn the intricacies of access control and electrified door hardware, video surveillance, managed Wi-Fi, data and telecommunications, MDF/IDF infrastructure, audio/video, vehicle and pedestrian access gates, intercom and visitor entry, electronic unit entry locks, ERRCS, EV charging infrastructure, and ISP pathways.

Prior experience in these systems is not required as training and mentorship are provided. This is a design and documentation role that works from the Schematic Design (SD) phase through the Issued for Construction (IFC) set. There will be a construction administration support role as well but this is not a sub-contractor role. Occasional site visits are expected but there will be no installation or field work expected. The position is the entry point to a defined career track progressing toward being a Community Technology Project Coordinator, then a CT Manager and eventually a Senior CT Manager.
