Job Description

About Somersett Owners Association:
Somersett is a 2,391-acre master-planned golf community located in Northwest Reno and surrounded by the beautiful Sierra Nevada range to the west and south, and Peavine Peak to the north. The Club at Town Center, 24,000-square-foot, 9-million-dollar facility, is the showpiece of the Somersett resident amenity program, which also includes the Canyon Nine par-3 golf course and 27 miles of hiking and biking trails. The Resort-style facility offers residents endless activities to enjoy, led by a team of dedicated professionals in hospitality, entertainment, and recreation. We promote an environment that is fun, energetic, and creates a positive work culture.

Job Summary:
The Project Manager leads project management for capital improvement, infrastructure, and large-scale maintenance projects across Somersett Owners Association’s amenities and common areas, including the Canyon Nine golf course, recreational facilities and buildings, community landscaping and open space, streets, maintenance and storage facilities, and civil and drainage infrastructure. Projects range from small-scale equipment and infrastructure work to larger capital improvements, and all require the same level of diligence in scope, bidding, and oversight. Acting as the Association’s owner’s representative, this role develops scopes of work, solicits and evaluates competitive bids and RFPs, and oversees contractors from project award through completion.

The Project Manager focuses on planning, budgeting, and overseeing capital and infrastructure projects from scope development through completion, coordinating closely with the Association’s operations staff, who continue to handle routine, day-to-day upkeep. For larger-scale replacements and improvements, such as major equipment or system upgrades, the Project Manager leads the process: developing scopes of work, managing the RFP and bidding process, and overseeing contractors through completion. A background or strong working interest in both finance and budgeting and in construction or capital-project management is valued in this role, given its mix of financial oversight and field-based project execution.

Duties/Responsibilities:

• Lead project management for capital improvement, infrastructure, and large-scale replacement projects across SOA’s amenities and common areas, including the Canyon Nine golf course, recreational facilities and buildings, landscaping and open space, streets, maintenance of facilities, and civil and drainage infrastructure.

• Evaluate competitive bids and proposals, negotiate contract terms and pricing, and recommend contractor and vendor selection to management and the Board.
• Develop, track, and manage capital project budgets, including alignment with the Association’s reserve study and approved capital plan.
• Prepare and present project plans, budgets, and status updates to management and the Board.
• Oversee contractors and vendors throughout project execution, monitoring schedules, milestones, and quality of work.
• Conduct site inspections and quality control reviews to confirm completed work meets specifications, contract terms, and industry standards.
• Coordinate with Association operations staff on project scope, sequencing, and operational impacts, particularly for larger-scale equipment, infrastructure, or system replacements.
• Review civil, landscape, and infrastructure plans, drawings, and technical specifications relevant to assigned projects.
• Collaborate with city, county, state, and utility agencies on permitting, compliance, and community improvement projects.
• Maintain project documentation, including contracts, change orders, warranties, and as-built records.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.

• Strong contract negotiation skills and working knowledge of construction contract terms, pricing structures, and industry standards.
• Financial acumen, including budgeting, cost estimating, and tracking project spend against reserve study and capital plan allocations.
• Experience managing multiple concurrent vendors and contractors, including scheduling, quality control, and issue resolution.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including preparing and presenting project plans, budgets, and status reports to management and the Board.
