Binghamton University invites applications for the position of Construction Project Site Coordinator within the Department of Facilities Management, Planning & Construction.

This role offers the opportunity to play a key part in delivering impactful capital projects across a growing campus, including building renovations, infrastructure upgrades, and new construction initiatives. Serving as a University on-site representative, the selected candidate will oversee day-to-day construction activities, on multiple simultaneous projects, to ensure projects are completed in accordance with design intent, within budget, schedule, and quality standards.

This highly collaborative, field-oriented role works closely with Facilities Management staff, University architects and engineers, internal and external stakeholders, contractors, consultants, and partnering external agencies such as the State University Construction Fund (SUCF) and the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY).

Ideal candidates will bring a background in construction management, site supervision, architecture, and/or engineering, along with field experience, communication skills, and the ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders in an owner's representative environment. This role will be responsible for simultaneously managing multiple, complex projects. Experience in building construction, facilities, or infrastructure-related projects (as distinct from manufacturing, production, or non-construction program environments) is directly aligned with this position.

This is a full-time, salaried professional position represented by United University Professions (UUP), offering a comprehensive New York State benefits and retirement package, a stable pipeline of projects, and a predictable schedule and work. The position is fully in person and suited for professionals who prefer active field engagement and direct involvement in construction. As Binghamton University continues to expand, this role provides a meaningful opportunity to work in a single, cohesive campus environment while contributing to projects that shape the campus for years to come.

Responsibilities of the successful candidate will include:

* Confidently represent the Campus as a University on-site authority for assigned construction projects, representing stakeholder and University interests in all project activities.

* Lead and oversee daily construction operations, ensuring full compliance with contract documents, drawings, specifications, and University standards.

* Own the administration of RFI response, submittal review, change orders, and payment applications, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and alignment with project goals.

* Maintain comprehensive, detailed project documentation, including thorough daily logs, field reports, and progress records.

* Perform regular field inspections to verify quality, safety, and compliance with applicable codes, including NYS Building Code and OSHA requirements. Coordinate inspections with third party agencies and consultants.

* Direct and lead communication among contractors, consultants, design teams, and University stakeholders to ensure clarity, accountability, and progress.

* Identify, deescalate, and resolve field issues proactively, minimizing risk to schedule, budget, and quality.

* Champion quality assurance and risk management throughout all phases of construction.

* Manage and lead project closeout activities, including punch list completion, turnover documentation, and warranty administration.

* Monitor and hold project teams accountable for schedule adherence, budget performance, and overall project execution.

* Participate in and influence project decision-making, providing field-based insight and experiences to guide outcomes.

* Maintain a consistent on-site presence, actively managing construction activities during all project phases.

* Oversee and coordinate multiple projects concurrently, ensuring effective execution across varying project scopes and complexities.

* In rare instances, off-hours response may be necessary to address urgent issues or emergencies and ensure continuity of project oversight.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

* Previous management in the execution of the construction work, and overall responsibility for the delivery of a project or a considerable portion of a project.

* A working knowledge of multiple building systems and disciplines, such as architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, and plumbing.

* Familiarity with the full project lifecycle, including planning, design coordination, construction oversight, schedule and budget management, and turnover/closeout.

* The ability to interpret construction documents, including drawings, specifications, submittals, and shop drawings.

* An understanding of applicable building and energy codes (such as NYS Building Code).
