Position Summary
CompQsoft is seeking a hands-on, high-energy VoIP Deputy Project Manager to support Voice over IP (VoIP) and Unified Communications (UC) modernization efforts for Department of Defense (DoD) customers in and around Colorado Springs, CO. This role is built for a working leader — someone who gets into the details alongside the team, mentors and develops technicians and engineers, and builds a stronger, more capable team over time rather than managing from the sidelines. The ideal candidate combines solid working knowledge of VoIP technologies and telephony modernization with disciplined, PMI-based project execution, supporting the Project Manager in managing scope, schedule, budget, and risk across concurrent installation, migration, and cutover activities at DoD installations.
Project Management & Execution
- Serve as Deputy Project Manager, supporting the Project Manager in the daily execution of VoIP and Unified Communications modernization projects
- Lead site teams performing legacy TDM-to-VoIP migrations, telephony cutovers, and voice/network infrastructure upgrades at DoD facilities in the Colorado Springs area
- Develop and maintain project schedules, staffing plans, and resource assignments using PMI standard practices
- Track cost and schedule performance, escalate variances, and drive corrective action plans
- Coordinate installation, testing, and cutover activities to minimize disruption to mission-critical voice and communications systems
Team Leadership & Development
- Lead field technicians, engineers, and installers hands-on, day to day — in the field with the team, not just from behind a desk
- Recruit, mentor, and coach team members to build technical skill and confidence, growing junior staff into senior contributors
- Foster a culture of accountability, safety, and continuous improvement across the project team
- Identify skill gaps and coordinate training and certification opportunities (e.g., Cisco, Avaya) to strengthen the bench
- Stay close to the work — comfortable troubleshooting alongside technicians during complex installs, testing, or outages
- Build and gather a team that performs above the sum of its parts, developing people into stronger contributors and future leads
Technical & VoIP Systems Oversight
- Apply working-level knowledge of VoIP protocols and architecture (SIP, H.323, MGCP, RTP/SRTP) and Unified Communications platforms (Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Avaya Aura, Microsoft Teams Voice, or equivalent)
- Support design, configuration, and deployment of Session Border Controllers (SBCs), voice gateways, and call control infrastructure
- Coordinate integration of VoIP systems with E911/NG911 solutions and existing installation/campus network infrastructure
