You’ll have the opportunity to manage projects and contractors in areas such as HVAC/mechanical, plumbing, electrical, life safety systems (including fire alarms, sprinklers, and generators), conveying systems, structural repairs, building envelope, ADA compliance, and various civil/site elements (painting, fencing, paving, doors and gates, and more).

Other responsibilities include:

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of assistant contract managers

• Ensure work assigned to contract managers is completed on time, within budget, and to high operational standards

• Collaborate closely with the Department of Procurement and Material Management (DPMM) to guide contract development

• Manage budgets for multiple blanket purchase orders, understanding financial impacts and ensuring cost-effective decisions

• Conduct cost-benefit analysis and provide strategic recommendations to department leadership

• Identify opportunities to enhance operational efficiency and strengthen facilities operations

• Evaluate and recommend when to outsource work versus completing tasks in-house

This is a great role for someone who enjoys building relationships, improving processes, and making a visible impact across diverse facilities. If you’re a natural problem-solver with strong leadership skills and a passion for operational excellence, we’d love to hear from you.
