Position Summary
Oregon Institute of Technology (Oregon Tech), the state's only public polytechnic university, invites nominations and applications for the position of Director, Construction Management within the College of Engineering, Technology and Management (ETM). This role represents a rare opportunity to build and shape a new academic program from the ground up - at a moment when industry demand, institutional commitment, and community investment are uniquely aligned.
Oregon Tech's Bachelor of Science in Construction Management launched in Fall 2025 in direct response to regional and statewide workforce needs across both public and private construction sectors, including heavy and general construction. Developed in close partnership with industry leaders, the program reflects Oregon Tech's polytechnic mission: hands-on, applied education that prepares graduates to contribute immediately and lead responsibly in complex, real-world environments.
Distinct from construction programs housed within engineering colleges, Oregon Tech's Construction Management program is intentionally grounded in management and leadership - preparing graduates for supervisory and project leadership roles across the construction sector.
Importantly, this is not a speculative or unfunded initiative. The Construction Management program is supported by a $500,000 gift from the Beavers Charitable Trust, providing foundational resources to launch the program with intention, quality, and long-term vision. This investment signals both institutional confidence and industry trust - ensuring the Director has the support needed to build strong curriculum, meaningful partnerships, and a sustainable program infrastructure from the outset.
The successful candidate will step into a role with genuine creative and strategic latitude. This includes shaping two focused pathways - Heavy Construction (horizontal) and General Construction (vertical) - that align curriculum, industry engagement, and applied learning with distinct workforce needs. As the program's founding leader, the Director will help define its identity, culture, and trajectory - shaping curriculum, establishing industry-connected learning experiences, and building internship and employment pipelines that serve students and employers alike.
Few roles offer this level of influence at the program's inception, with the opportunity to leave a lasting academic and professional legacy.
Oregon Tech's College of Engineering, Technology & Management provides a strong institutional…
