Project Manager - Public Utilities

Project Manager

Brunswick County Public Utility is currently accepting applications for a Project Manager to join our Design and Construction team and help ensure we continue to provide clean, reliable, and efficient water and wastewater services to customers across Brunswick County. The Project Manager is responsible for coordinating and managing capital improvement projects for the county's water and wastewater systems and ensuring projects are completed on time and within budget. This includes planning and managing projects from the design and construction phase, all the way through to project completion. The Project Manager represents the county in all project-related areas, including planning, design, permitting, bidding, construction administration, and construction inspection. Work includes:

• Coordinating with design consultants, other Brunswick County departments, NCDOT, and other regulatory agencies as required.
• Managing, coordinating, and evaluating the work of inspectors, Utility personnel, contractors, subcontractors, and other construction personnel involved in the construction and repair of utilities infrastructure.
• Administering contracts for water and sewer improvements as assigned and ensuring compliance with contract specifications.
• Developing short- and long-term goals and objectives for the completion of capital projects.
• Participating in the development, expenditure, and monitoring of project budgets.
• Interacting with developers and other members of the public.

Work may also involve implementing safety procedures, standard operating procedures, new programs, and special projects as assigned. The Project Manager will be held responsible for results, and success will be measured through reports and program outcomes, as well as economy of operation. Excellent interpersonal, communication, and teambuilding skills are a must. If you are a high integrity, self-directed problem-solver who would be comfortable exercising considerable independent judgement to ensure the success of capital improvement projects, we'd love to talk to you! The Project Manager reports to the Deputy Director - Design and Construction.
