Repair and Renovation Project Manager

Primary Purpose Of Position

This position is responsible for providing direct project management for Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and Repair and Renovation (R&R) projects, ensuring they are completed on schedule, within established budgets, and in compliance with Federal, State, and local building codes as well as University standards. The role supports the University’s mission by ensuring capital improvements are executed with minimal disruption to ongoing campus operations.

As a Project Manager, the position manages multiple, complex capital improvement projects simultaneously. These Informal and Formal Capital Projects may be valued at up to $120M and are moderately complex and highly technical in nature. Projects include modifications and enhancements to the University’s educational and work environments and require significant planning, funding, and coordination to implement. Project types vary widely and may include new construction of buildings and infrastructure, renovations of existing facilities, and upgrades to building systems.

Examples include boiler replacements, roofing systems, underground utilities, new building construction, interior renovations, stormwater basins, parking lots, telecommunications and data centers, laboratory research facilities, multi‑purpose spaces, landscaping, fire alarm and security systems, HVAC equipment and controls, and Life Safety systems—representative of the full range of facilities found in a higher‑education environment. This position has direct responsibility for the administration and coordination of all contracts, consultants, and professional service providers associated with each assigned project.

The role requires the ability to anticipate and prepare for emerging needs; manage multiple projects simultaneously; assess and prioritize project urgency; set goals and develop actionable project plans; and schedule resources to meet objectives with minimal oversight. Additionally, the position requires working knowledge of contract delivery methods governed by the Office of State Construction—including Construction Management at Risk—and the ability to evaluate project issues and provide timely recommendations to support project progress.
