Job Description

The Project Manager (PM) is responsible for all aspects of more complex Project Management, including monitoring construction contract compliance and coordination of services in support of the campus departments to ensure the construction phases of projects are on schedule, high‑quality, cost‑effective, and appropriate to the project needs. This involves all elements of Project Management from cost estimating through construction closeout, including initial budgeting, safety compliance, and contract compliance. The PM works with the Program Managers, Senior Project Managers and Construction Managers to organize, plan, and control the construction efforts on projects. This involves selecting general contractors and subcontractors and coordinating construction activities on multiple project sites, including construction inspectors and others associated with the projects. The PM is responsible for monitoring project progress and quality, resolving complex problems that arise in the projects, and working with Campus officials to ensure compliance and safety. The PM has first line responsibility to communicate effectively with project stakeholders regarding construction impacts and schedules. This position requires a high level of critical thinking to accomplish complex and highly specialized work. The project portfolio can range up to 20M with several complex jobs. These jobs could be in wet lab, dry lab, clinical, or animal care areas, so they will require a significant amount of autonomy to schedule and process work in a manageable way.

The PM is an advanced professional who is responsible for all aspects of the design and construction process for major and significant building projects or highly specialized and critical components of these projects. Projects are often complex in nature and have a substantial budget and longer timeline. The PM works under little to no direct supervision but will escalate highly sensitive issues or issues outside their scope to their manager. The PM makes decisions on complex matters and exercises judgment in selecting methods, techniques and evaluation criteria for obtaining results, and may oversee or provide guidance to other PMs and/or Analysts.
