Position Summary:

The Senior Construction Coordinator (SCC) is a member of the Portland Housing Bureau’s (PHB) Construction Services team which implements the City's affordable, multifamily housing strategy and the deployment of its resources by providing support to developers through public-private partnerships. As such, the SCC is responsible for a wide variety of professional and technical duties in the analysis, compliance, coordination and monitoring of publicly funded multifamily housing rehabilitation and new construction projects. 

The SCC participates in selecting projects to be awarded funding, attends Owner Architect Contractor (OAC) meetings from award through completion to advise and monitor the project, and works closely with Housing Portfolio Finance Coordinators who manage, negotiate, underwrite and structure housing development projects where PHB is one of a number of project funders. The SCC is responsible for bringing attention to issues related to proposed projects including but not limited to building cost, funding compliance, building constructability, site suitability planning and zoning, green building and development/construction team qualifications. For federally funded projects, the SCC is also responsible for producing Environmental Reviews. During construction, the SCC continues to monitor the project, processes construction draws and ensures compliance with applicable rules and regulations. At completion the SCC closes out the project including evaluation of final budgets and determination of cost savings.

SCCs work with a team of peers, a Construction Funding Compliance Coordinator and a Capital Projects Manager, and collaborate with other PHB teams including Housing Investment and Portfolio Preservation, Development Incentives, Risk Analysis and Compliance, and Finance and Accounting. The SCC team is the PHB liaison to Portland Permitting & Development during permitting and inspections and works closely with other bureaus (such as BPS, PBOT and BES) and project partners to keep projects on budget and on schedule. As such, the SCC is expected to have technical expertise in multifamily real estate development and construction and be knowledgeable on federal, state, and local housing funding programs and their rules, including prevailing wage and accessibility requirements. 

As a Senior Construction Coordinator, you will:

  • Review and evaluate solicitation proposals and grant applications to recommend funding awards for land acquisitions, rehab/retrofit projects, and new construction developments.
  • Flag and problem solve issues related to permitting, building costs, funding compliance or requirements, building constructability, site suitability planning and zoning, and development /construction team qualifications.
  • Conduct HUD Environmental Reviews and other site assessments to meet PHB funding source and policy requirements, such as green building, contracting and workforce training and hiring.
  • Monitor project sources and uses, process pre-development and construction draws and determine cost savings as part of final close-out process. 
  • Participate on committees and initiatives including policy and outreach. 
  • Monitor and report on outcomes for PHB’s development policies and funding source requirements, as requested.
  • Contribute to PHB’s  Guiding Principles of Equity and Social Justice .

As a candidate, you are: 

  • Collaborative:  An outgoing professional who values partnership and develops and supports relationships to get things done.
  • Solutions Oriented:  Able to learn independently and demonstrate strong communication skills to work with a variety of internal and external stakeholders to create, implement, and document solutions.
  • Value Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI): Uses DEI concepts to guide and inform your work.
  • An Equitable Team Member: Experience promoting and maintaining an inclusive, respectful and culturally responsive workplace.
  • Emotionally Intelligent: Motivated, curious, team-oriented, and empathetic.
