Project Manager II

The Work You run several campus projects at once, anywhere from $5 million to $100 million each, for a community college district rebuilding its campuses with bond money. You are in the field. You walk the job and check that what is being built matches the drawings and meets the Division of the State Architect, the state office that approves public school and college construction. Then you report what you found to the College Project Director and the program office: where the project stands, the schedule, the costs, the budget, the staffing, any delays, any disputes, any changes, and whether the work follows the District's written procedures. Because you are the one on site, you are also the one who sees trouble first. You name the risks, propose what to do about them, and keep the running list of risks and mitigation plans up to date. You work with the college and the design team on construction phasing and on swing space plans, meaning where students and staff go while their building is being worked on, and you track whether the plan is holding. When something complicated goes wrong, you are the one who gets it resolved. You work it through with the design team, the contractors, the inspectors, and the Division of the State Architect, and you do it without blowing the budget. You own closeout. Getting each project signed off by the Division of the State Architect, the District, and the program office, and coordinating with the college's relocation project manager on furniture and equipment, on what happens to the old equipment, and on the rest of the move. This is a senior seat, so you also help the rest of the college project team through planning, programming, and design, and you report to the college, the District, and the program office.
