Nature of work:

The Assistant Division Chief is responsible for planning, directing, and supervising the major functions of the Program Development Division (PDD) within the Office of Planning and Preliminary Engineering. This position is responsible for the development and quality control of SHA’s quarterly Capital Program submissions to the MDOT Secretary’s Office (MDOT TSO). The Assistant Division Chief is responsible for managing SHA’s program within the Department’s Capital Management and Programming System (CMAPS) application, which is used to produce both quarterly program submissions and the Draft and Final Consolidated Transportation Program (CTP) reports.

In addition, this position is responsible for providing and presenting funding allocation and expenditure summaries and analyses using charts, graphs, and spreadsheets to program managers, project managers, and Senior Managers throughout SHA every month, and for oversight of the Statewide Planning and Research (SPR) Program. The SPR program supports essential tasks and SHA offices across the state. This program has significantly increased in size and scope.

It has been converted to a primarily federally funded program, thereby increasing the importance of monitoring program expenditures and project deliverables for SPR Project Managers and their respective Senior Managers. The Assistant Division Chief supervises two professional positions: the CTP Development Manager and the System Preservation and SPR Program Manager. This role requires extensive coordination and liaison work with all SHA Offices, SHA’s Senior Management Team, and the staff of TSO.
