The Senior Capital Projects Manager supports capital projects within the growing SBGP Enhanced Services Program. The work of SGBP’s Enhanced Services Program improves the quality of life for our community members by enhancing parks and other public spaces in the SBGP District.

and other projects that enhance public space and implement the Reimagine Middle Branch Plan.

This role is grounded in hands‑on experience managing capital construction and capital improvement projects, which the Senior Capital Projects Manager will apply as the primary focus of the position while also overseeing a broader, diverse portfolio of projects, including maintenance and programming of public spaces across the District under the Reimagine Middle Branch Plan.
